#134870 - It's a control theory thing ...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Motor speed and control signal are somewhat effectively out of sych?

Essentially, it means that the integral coefficient of your PID controller might be to high.

Integrating parts of controllers integrate the difference signal at the input. If the difference is positive or negative for too long, the integral might become extremely large and a) cause an overshoot, and if it is still too large b) cause the controller to oscillate or ultimately become unstable.

There are several ways around this, such as reducing the integral coefficient or limiting the value that the integrator can reach. Each of these comes with different drawbacks.
