Hi guys
How do you deal with the PID gain problem in batteries power device?
Say I got a 12V battery, it power a 12 DC motor, the feedback loop is good. But if my battery run down to 11.5V, my PID gain is still the same, so my motor will not performance as good as at 12V.
How this problem is usually solved in practice?
In my case, I am refering to a balancing robot I am working on, I find that when battery voltage getting low (eg 50% discharged), my robot doesn't performance as good as when the battery level is 100%.
Am I making sense here?

How this problem is usually solved in practice?
- Monitor the battery voltage and dynamically adjust the PID?
- Monitor the speed of the motor and motor driver take speed as input?
- Someting else?
