Re: Curve Driving Generator

Bezier curves are defined by a formula that can be generalized for any degree, but for the most common, degree 3, the equation for any point along the curve is: B(t) = (1 - t)^3 * P0 + 3 * (1 - t)^2...

Re: Curve Driving Generator

The reason I suggested them is because they are parametric, so I thought they might be easier to deal with, and also you can control the shape of the curve in without changing the tangents at the...

Re: Curve Driving Generator

I personally think that Bezier curves are the easiest to deal with, especially if you want a particular tangent on the endpoints. I would recommend reading this...

Re: Challenges of small teams with fewer than 10 students

Our team is kind of like this because everyone gets to do everything, but we still have specialists who are obviously the best at their field and lead that. I think have some division is important so...

Re: Challenges of small teams with fewer than 10 students

On our small team (~10) it's a little different. As metainf said, we (team 3205) have about 4 or 5 people who know everything and organize everything, and all the new members just kind of tag along...

Re: Java coding

I see a big problem with this. operatorControl() is only called once, not continuously, so you need to put all your drive code and whatnot in that method in a loop so it will run more than just once....

Re: Robot Tyco Drummer?

I didn't intend for that, but that could be an added functionality. It could "listen" to the other drummers and attempt to keep the same tempo!

Re: RPM calculator

No, I think Joe is right. The Encoder class is for quadrature encoders which use two signals, and this encoder the OP is trying to use only has one signal and if I'm not mistaken produces a different...

Re: Robot Tyco Drummer?

That would be simpler certainly, but I was thinking it would be cooler to have a humanoid one, not to mention more of a challenge.

Robot Tyco Drummer?

I recently had a challenge proposed by a friend in our school's tyco drumming club: a tyco robot! Any ideas or examples?
I was intrigued by how controlled and quick the arms (assuming it was a...

Re: Waiting to connect to OTA command server

Yeah we've had problems with Netbeans before where it would stop producing output, but the code was still running. I can't really remember, but it might have been right at the point you're...

Re: 1M1011 Camera help

You might need to modify the default dashboard in order to see the camera there. I think there was a post on CD about how to modify it specifically to see the camera.
Also, can you get the camera...

How to get Blue Alliance banner?

I just wondering how I would get that image with my team's record from the Blue Alliance in my signature. I've seen so many other people with it, but I couldn't figure out how to get it.

Re: Gyro Autobalancing

If other teams have done it, I stand corrected, but I guess what I really was getting at was that these robots that we're developing in FIRST (or at least our team's) aren't ideal for balancing. Our...

Re: Not showing Battery Voltage

Yeah if that jumper is in the right place and the analog module is powered, you should be able to see the battery voltage in the driver station and the dashboard if you have that programmed in.

Re: CounterObject for RPM

If it only works when the motor is going slow, could it be that your wheel or whatever you're driving is going faster than the AS5030's max RPM? Also I think that encoder in particular isn't really...
