[Dprglist] Power vs Velocity for PID controllers

Good morning/day/evening,

Ack, I should apologise. I forgot I'm dealing with a lot of engineers
and used my terminology too informally.

I was writing about creating a PID controller for a ThunderBorg motor
controller, whose firmware takes a value like:

    motor.SetMotor(0.3)

Which I'm assuming is probably a direct translation into *voltage*, not
power.

Sorry for the confusion.

Cheers,

Murray

     The rice leaves in the garden
     Rustle in the autumn wind
     That blows through my reed hut.
