Re: Position Control using potentiometer?

What do you have your PID constants set to now?

I would just start with P to begin with. With my setup, a pot on a window motor , my P is at about 500. This moves the shaft pretty quick to the setpoint. I would try stepping up from 50, until you get a good feeling for how much P causes the motor to turn.

The PID constants will be unique to the system.
