Re: Tired of tuning pesty PID loops for hours? Try Neural Networks!
One thing I noticed and is confusing me, is that you seem to be treating the bias node just like any other neuron in the feed-forward operation. It seems to me that you would never want to feed the previous layer into the bias neuron, because its output is supposed to remain constant.

Also, this is causing the feedForward() method of neuron.cpp to loop out of bounds on the outputWeights vector, because it gets called on the bias neuron, which always has an index that is greater than the max index of outputWeights. This does not cause a crash in the C++ version because the [] operator does not do range checking, but if it is replaced with at() (which does do range checking), your code crashes.

I'm not sure how well I explained this, but I hope you can understand it.
