PID Controller

[BoJaN]

Ok, I can't get it to work... I have a pole with thrusters PIDs and a gyro but the PIDs never go into the positive numbers and it just spins, I have a PID wire like this: Pitch -> In, 0 -> Set Point, 1 -> Enable

Edit: LOL Duh... forgot to set it to -180 - 180... all better now

What are the "Integral Limit" and "D Cutoff for Integral" settings for?

[Moyer]

Integral Limit limits the integral term to +- that value. Since its an integral, it can get to huge values if the system can't get to the set point. Limiting it prevents that from happening. D Cutoff is the value for the D term below which the integral term is evaluated. Since the integral term is meant to eliminate steady state error, it really should only be evaluated when the P and D terms have converged. They can both be set to high values to effectively disable them.

the download isnt work. plz reup =)

Moyer, may I commit this addon to a wire extras SVN that I am building?

Also, what do you mean you can't use the physgun? Does this mess it up, or is it a bug?

[Magnight]

I don't understand its use...



EDIT: JUST UNDERSTOOD ITS GREAT

PID simply controlls the pitch yaw and roll of things.in other words it changes the andle of things.

Darn!its rar file...
why do i feel like im the only one who doesnt have winrar?
=(

[Whodunnit]

im havign a bit of trouble, i tried to use this to maintain a constant velocity on a spinning beam i quickly rigged up, but any values P i have taht are above .001 cause the rig to just spin and incredible speeds.

[Moyer]

PID can control anything, not just angles.

Anticept, you can certainly include it. The physgun problem was fixed, you simply couldn't manipulate it with the physgun.

Whodunnit, check that your thruster multiplier is set to 1 and that your beam and thruster both have some weight (not 1).

Get 7Zip extractor or just get the Wiremod Extra SVN.
