PID vs Set Power
A comparison of results with PID motor control vs. setting the power level directly. With the PID control, I set a target RPM and the micro controller uses a PID approach to reach the target fairly quickly. With "set power" I just set the final PWM power level and wait for the motor to reach the final speed. This is with a small (toy) 12V motor as a test of the approach to be used for a tennis ball machine.
