issue with teleop and pid with differential drive !?

hello guys,

i have

  • differential drive robot with castor for support,rplidar,rotarary encoder and brick imu
  • using rosserial Arduino

i want to do mapping with this and choosed gmapping

The main loop in the motor_controller.ino converts encoder tick counts into the current rpm of both motors and controls the speed of the motors using PID control. The rosserial library to communicate with the rest of the ros nodes in the pc via USB. The program subscribes to the cmd_vel topic which sets the desired speed of the motors and publishes the actual speeds on the rpm topic

while tuning navigation teleop speed is very low and still after 2 seconds it takes full speed in a different direction,

I'm confused is it because my left and right having separate motor PWM values or still PID tuning is required?

I thought of using pid ros pacakge but will it work with my architecture and also I don't know how to use it?

here is my code :

#if (ARDUINO >= 100)
#include <Arduino.h>
#else
#include <WProgram.h>
#endif
#include <ros.h>
#include <geometry_msgs/Vector3Stamped.h>
#include <geometry_msgs/Twist.h> //telop
#include <std_msgs/Int32.h> //sending encoder data
#include <ros/time.h> //to get current ruuning ros time  frame
#include <Encoder.h> // encoder
