Re: Sasquatch Robot Controller powered by Arduino

Could you please elaborate on this?
I probably spoke too loosely. I cannot elaborate on this...but to the best of my knowledge and research there isn't a ready-make way to compile Labview down to an Arduino. There are some embedded solutions I believe, but they are specialized...similar to how Labview runs on the Mindstorms equipment.

I would personally love a Simulink programming environment. It would make me very very happy.

How are you handling your dashboard-editable calibrations? I have some ideas on implementation, if you'd like them.

Are you doing anything to resemble an OS of any sort? At least something to guarantee loop timing?
Simulink does have some support for Arduino. We have yet to look too deeply into it.

Please feel free to elaborate on your ideas about parameters. I can expand on our strategy offline.

We do have a strategy to keep loop timing consistent. It involves an internal interrupt used as a "heartbeat." Our lead software engineer is better suited to elaborate. He can jump in on this discussion.
