There is some screen steps documentation here: http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...rs-pid-control and here http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...in-pid-control that might help.

If you look here: http://www.youtube.com/user/bradamiller there is a video on command based programming (one with and one without using RobotBuilder). In either one there are a few examples of writing code that will control an arm using PID control. The RobotBuilder version of the video shows how you can tune the PID controller using the SmartDashboard test mode widgets.
