Re: Knowledge Base for Current Control?

A collection of simple example projects in multiple languages would be great.
  • tank drive
  • arcade drive
  • simple position control with a jaguar/victor and a resistive feedback element in a PID
  • encoder projects
  • gyro projects
  • accelerometer
  • vision
Then more complex combined projects that integrate multiple elements of the above.

If you want to set up a repository we can provide projects since we spent a ton of time working on this issue.!!!

Need better examples ( which may already exist ) of dashboard code and usage of DS cypress I/O.

Need a facility to determine processor load / idle time and get that back to the DS or via telnet/ssh.

Need an area for advanced topics such as datalogging both at the DS via the dashboard and onboard the robot either on a local file system or dumped via serial port to an offboard processor.

I liked the frc/kitofparts link on last year usfirst.org website last year a lot better than this years. I wish it would come back.
