I run the pid controller to let the auv moving to a setpoint. When it reached setpoint and pid controller was closed automatically, the auv still moved even though I give the thruster intput zero. I think it is because of inertial phenomenon. I want to let the auv stop when pid was closed. What can I do?
Hi,
It really depends on what is your goal. If you want a realistic simulation you shouldn't stop the controller as in real life situation you should keep the position (station keeping). But if you want to stop it anyway you can call the service '/dynamics/reset' which will stop the inertias, but eventually the vehicle will start moving again as it happens at the beginning of simulation. The last option is killing the dynamic simulation node, just have a look at how to stop a ros node and kill: for instance "rosnode kill /dynamics_g500" on a terminal should do it.
It should be, just left the PID working after you reach the setpoint and if it is well designed it should remain stable around 0 velocity.
The pid_position and pid_rotation use the same thruster, thus if I want the auv rotate, I must close the pid controlling the position. I will try to implement a pid controlling velocity to zero before rotating. Thanks for your suggestion. You are really really nice and helpful!
