Can you explain why not? What device are you referring to?

Given the very nature of the design "device" It would take a novel to explain.

To Ether and Ross,
Thank you for the links and information, it helped up to a point but we have found, like many others that our single very precious resource was being used up at an alarming rate. So we have chalk this one up to; yes failure is an option but lets learn from it and move forward. Perhaps after regional’s we might re-visit the task but a “101 Programming a PID function with examples” would sure help.

Just in case, the “precious resource” is TIME. Five weeks is just to short. We lose a week for exams

Post #12 http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...hreadid=133100 also has a very nice to help understand what a PID does.

Look at the crab speed class in our code from last year. I think it does what you are looking for. Crates a generic class that he PIDController will write to that you can get with something else.
