Most PID tuning topics i’ve seen on the forums say that you should “wait for steady oscillation” when tuning PID. I’m not sure what exactly is oscillating though
Oscillation is simplest terms is overshooting.
That is not at all what oscillation is. An oscillation, according to google, is movement back and forth at a regular speed.
When people ask you to “wait for steady oscillation” when tuning PID, they want your robot to move back and forth about its target point. It doesn’t need to oscillate forever, but it should go back and forth at least a couple of times. This lets you know that your kP constant is at a good value. Once that is there, you should slowly increase your kD constant until your movement goes fast but is able to stop accurately at its target point.

I had a question, what about tuning Ki, I understand Kp and Kd, but what about the integral.
