Because of common software (Easy-C Pro), similar microprocessor architecture between the VEX controller (Microchip PIC18F8520) and FRC controller (Microchip PIC18F8722), a typical robotics team can compete against more established robotics team by successfully prototyping the 15 second hybrid (autonomous) period operation with a VEX robot.
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.
This is Team 237 (Sie-H20-Bots)'s code for the 2005 season. This is the exact code, ripped directly from our laptops C drive
It includes:
- Autonomous code that we used to cap vision tetra
- Auto Positioning system to set our arm/wrist into a certain position with a push of a button
etc....
This is the program Team SPAM is using to plot waypoints for autonomous mode this year. I hope other teams find it useful and interesting. This program shows the picture of the field and the user can generate points by clicking on its position on the picture. Look at the readme for more details.
