Vex iq code blocks flywheel PID control

[BennyBoy]

PID is something that will work for this, and there are other controllers out there that will work such as Take Back Half (TBH).
Here are some resources to help you better understand these algorithms.

Flywheel velocity control

So I’ve been playing with my flywheel test setup and some closed loop velocity control. I have some preliminary results that I will share in this post and hopefully update the thread as I refine the control code. My test setup looks like this. [image] I created this with the following constraints for my design. Capable of using 1 through 4 motors. Motors do not share an axle, I really don’t like designs that have a motor at each end of an axle the nee…

The George Gillard article is very good, as it provides a lot of information in an easier to understand way, provides nice pseudocode, and discusses the process of tuning PID.

Hope these help!
