 Or you could go to the Waterloo or Greater Toronto regional, walk up to anyone in their pit, and ask. You may end up feeling like you asked for a sip of water and ended up soaked by a fire hose, but you won't walk away disappointed. - Richard [more] |

This paper describes a simple method of logging diagnostic data through the Robot Controller’s second serial port. The concept is to add a FLASH memory based serial logger to the RC, and provide a simple software macro for sending data to the logger.
As teams start to add autonomous and hybrid modes to their robots, the need quickly arises to display diagnostic data so the programmers can assess the robot’s response to feedback sensors.
Unfortunately these modes often require free (un-tethered) operation of the robot, which makes data collection difficult. It IS possible to provide a wireless link between the robot and a diagnostic station, but this may NOT be used during competition.
