well actually we had it wired wrong it wasnt until yesterday that we found out that they plug into the analog breakout on the cRIO

I'm using the example by team 358, and have figured out the min and max on our pot however the wheels arent doing what i want they are just spinning continuously. Would it have something to do with the gains

this statement is no longer valid as we have solved this problem

The pot was mounted wrong the PID works great thanks to Ether, DominickC, and Matt Krass. Thanks everyone for all the help
