1. Start at PID = 0,0,0 2. Crank up P as far as you can go before it starts oscillating 3. Some People use half of the 'started oscliating' value and adjust I and D to suit 4. In general do as much as you can with P, P is the fastest thing. 5. D to get rid of oscillations 6. I to get rid of get rid of steady state and get fast response 7. If it oscillates quickly increase D 8. If that causes problems, decrease D and P 9. Long term oscillation ("hunting") increase D if you can, otherwise reduce I 10. Make sure it's in control # Source : Adaptronic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfC8csOFQxY
