Dual-Sensor Proportional-Integral-Derivative Line-Follower Algorithm for Lego Mindstorms EV3

Hello World!

Here's how to use this:

1. Download and extract the files from this repository, or clone this using $ git clone git://github.com/aryan-02/2sensorpid.git
2. Before you import the My-Blocks, open the project properties, click "Variables" and create the following variables:
   
   

   Variable Name	DataType
   Error	Numeric
   Integral	Numeric
   Derivative	Numeric
   kP	Numeric
   kI	Numeric
   kD	Numeric
   l_Error	Numeric

3. Import both the My-Blocks (init and PID).
4. Right after the start block, put the init my-block.
5. Now, put the PID my-block inside a loop. Add two Color Sensor blocks with mode set to Measure -> Reflected Light Intensity, set the ports for your left and right color sensors respectively. Now, plug in the left and right sensor values into their respective input slots (leftSensorValue and rightSensorValue).
6. Next, Set your power, kP, kI and kD. Make sure your left motor is connected to port A and the left motor is connected to port B.

And you're done.
