I currently have a PID algorithm to control my robots turns in an autonomous state. My robot has encoders, on each motor, which there are four of, and also a BNO055IMU. Furthermore each motor is a never rest 40 motor from Andymark, and unfortunately I am stuck with encoders that do 3 pulses. I would like to improve the accuracy of my turns either by using a different algorithm or improving my current one.
My Current Turning Code:
public void turn(int angle, Direction DIRECTION, double timeOut, int sleepTime, double kp, double ki, double kd) {
double targetAngle = imu.adjustAngle(imu.getHeading() + (DIRECTION.value * angle));
double acceptableError = 0.5;
double currentError = 1;
double prevError = 0;
double integral = 0;
double newPower;
double previousTime = 0;
timeoutClock.reset();
while (opModeIsActive() && (imu.adjustAngle(Math.abs(currentError)) > acceptableError)
&& !timeoutClock.elapsedTime(timeOut, MasqClock.Resolution.SECONDS)) {
double tChange = System.nanoTime() - previousTime;
previousTime = System.nanoTime();
tChange = tChange / 1e9;
double imuVAL = imu.getHeading();
currentError = imu.adjustAngle(targetAngle - imuVAL);
integral += currentError * ID;
double errorkp = currentError * kp;
double integralki = integral * ki * tChange;
double dervitive = (currentError - prevError) / tChange;
double dervitivekd = dervitive * kd;
newPower = (errorkp + integralki + dervitivekd);
newPower *= color;
if (Math.abs(newPower) > 1.0) {newPower /= newPower;}
driveTrain.setPower(newPower, -newPower);
prevError = currentError;
DashBoard.getDash().create("TargetAngle", targetAngle);
DashBoard.getDash().create("Heading", imuVAL);
DashBoard.getDash().create("AngleLeftToCover", currentError);
DashBoard.getDash().update();
}
driveTrain.setPower(0,0);
sleep(sleepTime);
}
NOTES: when driveTrain.setPower(x,y); is called the left parameter is the power set to the left side and the right parameter sets the right side.
Direction is an enum that stores wither -1, or 1 to switch between left and right turns.
Dashboard.getDash.create is solely to keep a log on what is going on.
imu.adjustAngle does the following:
public double adjustAngle(double angle) {
while (angle > 180) angle -= 360;
while (angle <= -180) angle += 360;
return angle;
}
imu.getHeading() is self explanatory it gets the yaw of the robot.
My current values for pid constants. (They work pretty well.)
KP_TURN = 0.005,
KI_TURN = 0.0002,
KD_TURN = 0,
ID = 1;
