Re: Problems Using PID for Velocity

We saw exactly that behavior last year with a simpleminded attempt at closed-loop speed control. Adding the D term is absolutely the most reasonable way to resolve the oscillation.

It can be resolved with a much quicker control loop, but you'll definitely have issues measuring the speed if you try it that way.
