Traction control: How do I tune a PID controller with variable gain?
Hi, We are still programming and we are really just getting started on traction control. I understand the traction control scheme that team 121 is using, however I'm not sure how to tune the PI controller that they say they are using. They say that they have a proportional gain that is proportional to the slip ratio. Does anyone have any experience with tuning such a PI controller? If so, what do you suggest I do?

thanks
