(...) I have to disagree with your approach. Even at low speeds, alternating between pushing on the gas and stamping on the brake isn't the way to drive smoothly. Perhaps you need to gear the machine differently and use less power during the ON (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

The ON/OFF bang-bang control you are trying has some problems that proportional control does not. While it is true that if the update rate is high enough, or the controlled plant damped enough, that switching a drive ON and OFF can simulate (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)
