Encoder Information Unknown

[rohinb]

Hi guys,
I am another programmer from the team who asked this question, We have been using the ratio suggested by Ether (7*50 -- 50 is the gear ratio), and the PID with a value of P=1.0 (we know this isn't a great value) and I and D equal to 0. The PID corrects the position very slowly for some reason and we don't know why. When we were using PID for a VEX Integrated CTR Encoder with which we didn't need to use the codes per revolution (since it was preset, but it was somewhere around 4096 native units), the motor would correct very quickly with just a P=.3. Are we doing something wrong and should the codes per revolution be different?
Thanks,
Rohin
