Video Demonstrating PID speed control on Jaguars(graph visual)

This is pretty neat. This is with the embedded PID of the jag and not the cRIO?

Can you give us some information on how you actually set this up?

ye this is with the embedded pid on the jag. Nothing special really to it just a standard setup. It requires the CAN bus though which you can buy a kit to use or make your own cables. Once you have CAN bus setup and the jags configured(with new firmware and ids) then the rest is pretty easy. Just use the CAN instances in labview for the jag, specify the encoder type and PID values with appropriate calls and you will get this result.

Can you post info on the gears you are using? where can I get some?

Also post what your PID parameters were set to.

http://www.qtcgears.com/ is where we get our gears from. Just find the type and size that fit your requirements. I forgot what the model number of these were but shouldn't be hard to find. I actually directly mention what PID values i'm using in the video. 0.05 for P, 0.01 for i, and 0.5 for d. the d parameter doesn't really have much effect though.
