negative overflow. In this particular case, it actually wouldn’t affect the results, but it is always a good
idea to use casting to avoid unexpected behavior.
Each of these input values provides a different kind of information. The next step is a simple formula
that combines all of the values into one variable, which is then used to determine the motor speeds:
The values 1/20, 1/10000, and 3/2 represent
adjustable
parameters that determine how your 3pi will
react to the line. The particular values chosen for this example were somewhat arbitrarily picked,
and while they work sufficiently for typical line following, there is plenty of room to improve them.
In general, increasing these PID parameters will make
power_difference
larger, causing stronger
reactions, while decreasing them will make the reactions weaker. It’s up to you to think about the
different values and experiment with your robot to determine what effect each parameter has. This
example gives the motors a maximum speed of 100, which is a safe initial value. Once you have
adjusted the parameters to work well at a speed of 100, try increasing the speed. You’ll probably need
to readjust the parameters as the maximum speed increases. By gradually increasing the maximum
speed and tuning the parameters, see if you can get your 3pi to run as fast as possible! We have been
able to run 3pis with a maximum speed of 255 on courses with 6"-radius curves, all by finding the right
PID parameters.
