Re: Returning battery voltage into user program
Zem.. you may wish to consider / implement encoder feedback closed loop speed control on shooter motor (PID)
to automatically compensate for battery voltage droop and dynamic IR load drops from drive motors
and apply full power after each shot to most quickly get back to regulated set speed needed for consistent shooting.
