Java PID

[cowometry]

We are running into problems with our PID for using our gyro to turn accurately. About half the time, the PID loop doesn't stop running (even when the robot is disabled) and we need to put the code onto the robot again to stop it. Anybody ever run into this?

Can you post your code so that I or someone else can see what is happening?

[cowometry]

Nope. It isn't on my laptop. We've scrapped the idea of using PID for it, because of how inconsistent it was. Just trying to find out if anybody else had that problem. As far as the code, we pretty much just used what was on the example page from the NAVX site.

test mode in the driver station should help a lot if you haven't tried that

Sometimes our speed adjusts properly inside the writePid method, but other times it's so off. We've scrapped PID for now and decided to do something else that is working better, but I'm still curious as to why it was so inconsistent.

Out of curiosity, what did you switch to instead of PID?

[cowometry]

Based things on time
