Plotting and Scheming
Plot (pluh):
One of the greatestmost valuable tools that will aid you infor your tuning escapadesendeavors is the Phoenix Tuner plot. The reason this is so useful is that it shows you how much your mechanism is off (in terms of position and velocity) in an intuitive manner.

ThingsSignals to Plot (pluh):
- Position: The actual position of the motor according to the motor (or the CANcoder if there is one)
- Reference Position: The expected position of the motor; The position that you want the motor to be at
- Velocity: The actual velocity of the motor
- Reference Velocity: The expected velocity of the motor; The velocity that you want the motor to
Plotting Tips:
- Axis Alignment: One of the most annoying things to deal with when plotting is when the axes for
twomultiple signals are misaligned. To fix this issue, you can group certain signals together.
