Post PID Control
Hey RobotC! Been trying to learn PID Control with our encoders and came across Titan Robotic's library and had some trouble calling for it. I keep having errors for it...I was able to narrow it down to 2 but i'm not sure how to fix them.

Code:
#pragma config(StandardModel, "RVW RANGER")
//*!!Code automatically generated by 'ROBOTC' configuration wizard               !!*//

// include files
#include "ftclib/trcdefs.h"
#include "ftclib/dbgtrace.h"
#include "ftclib/sm.h"
#include "ftclib/drive.h"
#include "ftclib/pidctrl.h"
#include "ftclib/piddrive.h"


task main()
{
   PIDDriveSetTarget(pidDrive, 36.0, 0.0);
}


with these errors:

    File "C:\Users\Jt Buckner\Desktop\PIDTest1.c" compiled on Feb 02 2015 20:08:59
    *Warning*:Substituting similar variable 'playImmediateTone' for 'PlayImmediateTone'. Check spelling and letter case.
    **Error**:No body declared for referenced procedure 'PIDCtrlGetInput'
    *Warning*:Substituting similar variable 'PIDDRIVE' for 'pidDrive'. Check spelling and letter case.
    **Error**:Procedure call Parameters don't match declaration for 'PIDDriveSetTarget(PIDDRIVE & pidDrive, float distSetPoint, float angleSetPoint, bool fHoldTarget, SM * sm, long evtType, unsigned long timeout)'

any and all help would be appreciated :D

Post Re: PID Control
I am not familiar with the robot configuration provided by RVW but here is a code that will use our library to do PID drive on a typical 2-motor Tetrix drive train with a gyro sensor for driving straight or turning.
Code:

Thanks! Any idea how to do it without gyro's? we don't have one only encoders however we did just order a compass sensor

Sure, the library is very flexible. Without gyro, it could use the encoder to approximate the gyro.
Code:
#pragma config(Hubs,  S1, HTMotor,  none,     none,     none)
#pragma config(Sensor, S1,     ,               sensorI2CMuxController)
#pragma config(Motor,  mtr_S1_C1_1,     leftMotor,     tmotorTetrix, openLoop, encoder)
#pragma config(Motor,  mtr_S1_C1_2,     rightMotor,    tmotorTetrix, openLoop, encoder)

Post Re: PID Control
so for turns just you default encoder codes such as (sudocode)

Code:
while(nEncoderValue != 1440
{
  motor[leftwheel = 70;
  motor[leftwheel = -70;
}


or is there a way using the compass sensor? the gyro seems useful we'll have to look into getting one

I just changed the above code to use the encoder for turn as well. See above.

Post Re: PID Control
In other words, you do the following for turns:
Code:
task main()
{
    DriveInit(g_drive, leftMotor, rightMotor);  //initialize drive object
    PIDCtrlInit(g_yPidCtrl,         //initialize yPidCtrl object
                ENC_KP, ENC_KI, ENC_KD,
                ENC_TOLERANCE, ENC_SETTLING);
    PIDCtrlInit(g_turnPidCtrl,
                TURN_KP, TURN_KI, TURN_KD,
                TURN_TOLERANCE, TURN_SETTLING);
    PIDDriveInit(g_pidDrive, g_drive, g_yPidCtrl, g_turnPidCtrl);

    PIDDriveSetTarget(g_pidDrive, 0.0, -90.0);  // Turn left 90 degrees.

    while (true)
    {
        PIDDriveTask(g_pidDrive);
        DriveTask(g_drive);
    }
}

Thank you so much for your time and help! I'll try this tomorrow and see if I can get it to work, if not i'll post here with whatever further questions. Thanks!

The library doesn't care what kind of sensor you use, a gyro, a compass or even just encoders. It will just call you back (i.e. PIDCtrlGetInput) when it needs to get the robot position or robot heading. As long as you can read some sort of sensors and translate it back to inches or degrees, the PID control module is happy.

Post Re: PID Control
so to go forward then straight you put the setup then

Code:
 PIDDriveSetTarget(g_pidDrive, 36.0, 0.0); // Forward 36 inches.

while (true)
{ while loop info }

PIDDriveSetTarget(g_pidDrive, 0.0, -90.0);  // Turn left 90 degrees.


or could you just put the while loop once at the end of the program and just put say a 100 msec wait or does it require a wait? ex:

Code:
 main task
{
setup;

PIDDriveSetTarget(g_pidDrive, 36.0, 0.0); // Forward 36"

wait10msec(10); // with or without the wait?

PIDDriveSetTarget(g_pidDrive, 0.0, -90); // turn left 90 degrees

while (true)
{ while loop info }
}


BTW sorry for pseudo code

No, the library supports multi-tasking so you need to use a state machine like this:
Code:
#pragma config(Hubs,  S1, HTMotor,  none,     none,     none)
#pragma config(Sensor, S1,     ,               sensorI2CMuxController)

Does your compass library have a calibration method to call? or is it mixed in with

Code:
 CompassInit


i've searched through compass.h but couldn't find anything that looked like calibration
and I could just take the gyro sample you gave and replace gyro with compass and it would work that way if i understand it right?

My understanding of the compass sensor is that it is quite different from gyro regarding calibration. For a gyro, you just have the robot sit still for a second while it reads the value in a loop to determine the offset and noise. But calibrating a compass requires you to turn the compass around in 360 degrees under 20 seconds. So essentially, it's a manual calibration process and only needs to do it once at a location. That's why the library does not contain the calibration procedure for compass.

oh ok so i could just use say, xanders calibration program and run it when i set down the robot on the field or could i say mount it on a 360 servo and have it run during initialization in autonomous
