PID Motion Control on Either the CAN Jaguars or the roboRIO with LabView

[AmericanOtaku44]

Hello all,
First off, let me state that I am sorry if this is not the correct thread, I'm a new member on this site. Anyways, I am a new programmer to first, and I have been challenged by my mentor to learn how to use PID Motion Control in LabView. I have looked up many different things, but I haven't found anything that has really stuck with me enough to use it. I want to use the PID control on either a CAN Jaguar or on the roboRIO.

I also would appreciate any information I can get on how PID controls work. I'm a freshman so I don't have experience with calculus or anything, so looking at the algorithms isn't a whole lot of help to me. I would like to know at least the basics of PID Motion Control, and how to use it in LabView with either a CAN Jaguar or a roboRIO. I thank you all in advance for your responses and help!
