In keeping with the philosophy that users will have to help each other with code examples for Pololu products, I’ve posted an example of proportional/derivative (PD) speed control for a small robot controlled by the Orangutan–the code would be ideal for the Baby Orangutan as an independent motor controller unit.
I also discuss how to tune the parameters Kp and Kd for the algorithm. It is nice to see a robot chugging up a variable slope at constant speed!
See the web page
for downloadable code and discussion of the algorithm. Comments, suggestions & questions are always appreciated.
Cheers, Jim
