ADVANCED PROGRAMMING COURSES (PROGRAMMING WITH PID)
This is a course on how to use PID with a VEX IQ robot. Make sure that you have completed lesson 7: programming skills before taking this course - we will be building off of the code you created there
Setting up P and tuning
Setting up a P-loop
Creating a P-loop is the first step to creating a PID loop. In this lesson, I will show you (in detail) what a P-loop is and how to create a P-loop for your robot.
Coding the rest and tuning
Finishing the control loop and implementing integrals
In this video, we will first cover what an integral is and how to use it to precisely control the movements of the robot. Then, I will coach you through creating the actual code that you will upload to your robot and tune.
