topic of the week: PID control/tuning?

i'm actually rather new to the concept, but it seems like it can be demystified easily enough.

sounds good. I would like to know more. I think it could help fix the lean spike in closed loop cruise that I am having. I'll do some reading.

Did you start a thread? All these topics of week are great to fall back on and add into to later.

[RobertISaar]

not yet, i was wondering if anyone actually cared about PID control/theory.

[EagleMark]

I'm interested in learning anything in the new systems since I've done nothing with them other than read codes and fix problems.

Sorry I have been absnt around here, weather turned to almost 70-80s and I have SOOOO much out side house work to take care of. Been trying to presure wash the deck and recoat it, have some water damage along side the garage from the last 2 winters piling up snow on the wood, blahh, blah, blah... I hate working on houses...

[RobertISaar]

i know the problem, i've been spending most of my free time trying to make sense of the 93-95 GM V6 flash PCMs. GM sure did make use of the advantages of having dual processors.

My long weekend:

It took 9 of us to set it up in about 10 hours, and I shot it all in 20 minutes.

Nice! What happened to the one that went off next to the ground? Couple feet lower and the barge would have gone too...

[gregs78cam]

Well we're not sure, I think what happened was the lift charge may have fractured the cardboard sphere holding the display charge and caused it to ignite early. That 8" shell should have displayed at about 800 feet. It was a little bit of excitement. It's always fun though.

We were on a freinds boat on Lake Coeur d'Alene for the forth about 6 years ago. Torwards the final finally something went wrong? I don't know how many people noticed but we had achored there early and were as close as possible. Don't think I will do that again. Only way to describe is a bad LAD trip that wasn't going to stop. They just kept getting closer and something failed but the last few big booms with huge sparks, several hit the water and I was looking for cover. and there was none. it was an open 20 foot boat.

I think only 100 people in that area we were in would have noticed and when they stopped we heard several women screaming in the area. Not happy screams.

Fianlly ended and we lived. Then several hundred boats (probably thousands) started up and took off. 20 foot open boat again, not good. We got swamped once and I stood next to Larry our Captain and was truely concered... he was only taking a couple of my directions before I told him I'll Drive. Imediatlu floore it through same huge wakes from a yoo yoo in a 40 foot boat who decided to go a slow speed which was making the biggest wake possible. and got it op plane with a couple 90 degree slow turns and full throttle took about 15 seconds and didn't intrude on anyone. Then stayed with a pack of boats all straight and on plane at same speed and all good captains and made it back to other end of the lake at night, pitch dark. I knew eactly where we were at all times and am capable of not only driving the lake in the dark but fish it too! I had no idea Larry did not know what he was doing.

Other than that yeah we had fun. Haven't left the house on forth of July Weekend since...

looks like we're getting rid of the wife's 90 grand prix LE...... and getting a 91 grand prix SE.

LOL
