problem with automatic/manual mode PID library front end

[Dustin Thomas]

Hello.......I am pulling my hair out on this one.

I have a little project coming due that I'm using this pid library for, and I have it interfacing with the "PID processing front end."

The problem is even in the example code, when you hit, "Send_to_Arduino,"  it automatically toggles to automatic.

For the purpose of tuning I do not want to do this.   I think I need it to stay in Manual until i tell it otherwise.

Thanks for any help.

The  PID_FrontEnd_ArduinoSampeCode.pde

 start up the PID in the setup() - maybe change this to MANUAL?

void setup()
{

 

[snip]

  //turn the PID on
  myPID.SetMode(AUTOMATIC);
}

i figured it out.

at the very bottom of the Sketch for the processing front end, there is a value that had to be changed from label, to current!!

thanks a bunch tho!
