Hey guys, I'll get to the point. I'm reading data from my mpu-6050 accelerometer / gyroscope and using the I2C devlib library to do this. I'm having no trouble there. I'm then entering this data into a PID controller from this library : Arduino Playground - PIDLibrary
My problem is that the pid just outputs either full one value or full another instead of a range. I may as well be using if statements. I have my outputs set to -10 and 10, expecting to get a range between those, but I'm only getting -10 or 10.
Here is my code, including the mpu-6050 stuff.
#include "I2Cdev.h"
#include <PID_v1.h>
#include "MPU6050_6Axis_MotionApps20.h"
#if I2CDEV_IMPLEMENTATION == I2CDEV_ARDUINO_WIRE
#include "Wire.h"
#endif

#define OUTPUT_READABLE_YAWPITCHROLL
// MPU control/status vars
bool dmpReady = false; // set true if DMP init was successful
uint8_t mpuIntStatus; // holds actual interrupt status byte from MPU
uint8_t devStatus; // return status after each device operation (0 = success, !0 = error)
uint16_t packetSize; // expected DMP packet size (default is 42 bytes)
uint16_t fifoCount; // count of all bytes currently in FIFO
uint8_t fifoBuffer[64]; // FIFO storage buffer
// orientation/motion vars
Quaternion q; // [w, x, y, z] quaternion container
VectorInt16 aa; // [x, y, z] accel sensor measurements

It'd be great if someone could tell my how to get the PID working properly/ what I'm doing wrong.
