Re: CMU CAmera REv A
 

You're kidding me! You mean at a hardware level it can't drive servos?

I loved that bit. When we have an already overloaded processor (and likely to be more so this year), with poor timing for a "real-time" application, I love being able to offload features for basically free. Less wires to run, less outputs to use, less code to write and tweak, etc.

Re: 2007 Default Code?
 

Sorry, but yes you are correct this years CMU cam has the headers for the servos removed.

Re: 2007 Default Code?
 

But, as far as my understanding of the rules goes, you can still use last year's CMU cam instead if you want this functionality. Otherwise you could probably offload some of the camera stuff to a second processor if you felt the need to, but I don't think i's necessary unless you're doing a lot of other complicated things.

Re: 2007 Default Code?
 

If they were removed, was anything added? Or just blank board space?

look for yourself it just looks... different

Re: 2007 Default Code?
 

Look at the solder points on the far right. I think those might be it. Ill have to check the PDF for more info. Could be you have to put yout own pins on it.

Re: 2007 Default Code?
 

The boards are the same just the headers are removed. I would ask in the official FIRST forum if you can run the servos from the camera if the 05/06 cameras are used.

Re: CMU CAmera REv A
 

Hm. Is there any multiple target code written that's not in easyC? Like, maybe in normal C?

Re: 2007 Default Code?
 

Well the targeting system for the 2007 kickoff is in "C" you would just have to look at the code in easyC and then move it to the Kevin's code.

Brad Miller should have it available for WPILib soon.

Re: 2007 Default Code?
 

C'mon, this is pure FUD. The files terminal.c/.h are present in my code just for this reason. I also include this text:

Since the IFI terminal is somewhat restrictive, you might
consider using one of the free high quality terminal emulators
available. TeraTerm Pro (http://www.ayera.com/teraterm) is a
good example. If you dive into the existing code or create
your own custom menus (as I hope you will), you might consider
writing code that will exploit the capabilities of a good
terminal emulator. To get started, do a google search on the
phrase "terminal escape codes".

Building these robots is hard enough already, so If you're going to be supporting teams here, please take the time to make sure you're giving folks accurate information. Thanks.

Re: 2007 Default Code?
 

I stand corrected. Sorry, when I was programming in 05/06 with your code I missed it.

Re: 2007 Default Code?
 

Has there been any actually default code posted for the FRC 2007? Or is this all conjecture and we are assuming that its the same as the 2006 code (sans cam)

Re: 2007 Default Code?
 

I keep seeing references to "Check IFI for the 2006 code."
I must be dense I only see a broken link for the 2007 code.

Through a variety of 'incidents' we no longer possess 2006 code and would really like to start working on the code in some form.

So, can anyone show me my error and point at where to find the 2006 code?

Thanks

Re: 2007 Default Code?
 

Sure man, here is the 2006 default code (Please gimme some good rep. points). It may not be the *latest* version, but it worked for me.

Yeah, I don't need any 2007 default code, as we are using the CMUCam, and Kevin kindly already updated that. I am sure 2006 stuff will work though.

I bet if we do see any "2007" code, it will be the latest update of the 2006 stuff. I believe I saw it on Kevin's site as being from December. It is not there now.

The one thing I need to get though is the latest 2006 code available, but it is not on the IFI site anymore. You can use what I uploaded for testing, but don't even try it in mission-critical competition. Does anyone have the December edition of the code?

Re: 2007 Default Code?
 

The 2007 Code is available since pretty much now at http://ifirobotics.com/rc.shtml at the bottom
