Hello Everyone,
I have a  simple 150rpm line follower. But now I need a PID controlled fast line follower for a local line following competition. I have tried to make the algorithm to use with arduino but i am not getting how to get the current position and how to drive the motor to the accurate position. Please help me  my competition gonna start 5th March.

Code:

#include <PololuQTRSensors.h>

#define NUM_SENSORS             6  // number of sensors used
#define NUM_SAMPLES_PER_SENSOR  4  // average 4 analog samples per sensor reading
#define EMITTER_PIN             12  // emitter is controlled by digital pin 2

// sensors 0 through 5 are connected to analog inputs 0 through 5, respectively
PololuQTRSensorsAnalog qtra((unsigned char[]) {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5},
  NUM_SENSORS, NUM_SAMPLES_PER_SENSOR, EMITTER_PIN);
unsigned int sensorValues[NUM_SENSORS];


int MOTOR1_PIN1 = 5;

delay(2000);

 digitalWrite(13, HIGH);    // turn on LED to indicate we are in calibration mode
  for (i = 0; i < 400; i++)  // make the calibration take about 10 seconds
  {
    qtra.calibrate();       // reads all sensors 10 times at 2.5 ms per six sensors (i.e. ~25 ms per call)
  }
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);     // turn off LED to indicate we are through with calibration
 
 

 center = qtra.readLine(sensorValues);


while(digitalRead(buton)==LOW)

delay(1500);
center = qtra.readLine(sensorValues);
 

}

 

 

void loop() {


 
unsigned int position = qtra.readLine(sensorValues);
 
// The "proportional" term should be 0 when we are on the line.
int proportional = ((int)position) - center;
 
// Compute the derivative (change) and integral (sum) of the
// position.

// Remember the last position.
last_proportional = proportional;

int power_difference = proportional*3.3 + integral/10000 + derivative*7;
 
// Compute the actual motor settings.  We never set either motor
// to a negative value.
const int max = 180;
if(power_difference > max)
    power_difference = max;
if(power_difference < -max)
    power_difference = -max;
 
if(power_difference < 0)
  go(max+power_difference, max);
else
    go(max, max-power_difference);}
   
 
 




void go(int speedLeft, int speedRight) {

  if (speedLeft > 0) {

    analogWrite(MOTOR1_PIN1, speedLeft);

    analogWrite(MOTOR1_PIN2, 0);

Hi i have a problem with my line follower robot. It can t follow the line properly so if you can help me improving pid i will be very grateful. Here is the video which cand explai better the robot's behaviour http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04i1NqcbhpA&feature=youtu.be
Thank you anticipated!
