Detailed Description

A basic pid class.

This class implements a generic structure that can be used to create a wide range of pid controllers. It can function independently or be subclassed to provide more specific controls based on a particular control loop.

In particular, this class implements the standard pid equation:

$command = -p_{term} - i_{term} - d_{term} $

where:

given:

ROS interface

Parameters
pProportional gain
dDerivative gain
iIntegral gain
i_clampMin/max bounds for the integral windup, the clamp is applied to the $i_{term}$
publish_stateEnable publishing internal controller state on the state topic. May break real-time guarantees due to clock_gettime system call.

Usage

To use the Pid class, you should first call some version of init() (in non-realtime) and then call updatePid() at every update step. For example:

control_toolbox::Pid pid;
pid.initPid(6.0, 1.0, 2.0, 0.3, -0.3);
double position_desi_ = 0.5;
...
ros::Time last_time = ros::Time::now();
while (true) {
ros::Time time = ros::Time::now();
double effort = pid.updatePid(currentPosition() - position_desi_, time - last_time);
last_time = time;
}

in ROS Hydro. This function assumes p_error = (state - target) which is an unconventional definition of the error. Please use computeCommand instead, which assumes error = (target - state) . Note that calls to computeCommand should not be mixed with calls to updatePid.
Parameters
errorError since last call (p_state-p_target)
error_dotd(Error)/dt since last call
dtChange in time since last call

Definition at line 428 of file pid.cpp.

Deprecated:
in ROS Hydro. This function assumes p_error = (state - target) which is an unconventional definition of the error. Please use computeCommand instead, which assumes error = (target - state) . Note that calls to computeCommand should not be mixed with calls to updatePid.

dtChange in time since last call
