### This is a Generic PID Controller
Check out cu_rp_balancebot for a full example of how to use it.
### Task and Input
To be able to use it, you need to specialize it before you can reference it in your copper RON config:
```rust
// in mymod.rs
use cu_pid::GenericPIDTask;
pub type MyPID = GenericPIDTask<MyPayload>;
// MyPayload needs to implement an Into<f32> trait to be able to be used as a reference for the PID controller
pub struct MyPayload {
pub value: f32,
}
impl Into<f32> for MyPayload {
fn into(self) -> f32 {
self.value
}
}
```
Then you can use it in your copper RON config:
```ron
(
id: "my_pid",
type: "mymod::MyPID", // Set your type alias here
config: {
"kp": 0.015,
"kd": 0.01,
"ki": 0.00005,
"setpoint": 3176.0,
"cutoff": 170.0,
},
),
[...]
```
### Configuration
- `kp`: Proportional gain
- `ki`: Integral gain
- `kd`: Derivative gain
- `setpoint`: The target value
- `cutoff`: The +/- deviation from the setpoint that is considered acceptable, otherwise the PID will return None (
safety mode)
### Output
The PID controller will return a full state with the p, i and d contributions in PIDControlOutput struct:
```rust
pub struct PIDControlOutput {
pub p: f32,
pub i: f32,
pub d: f32,
pub output: f32, // output == p+i+d
}
```
