Re: Programming code Fix FRC

I was confused. StangSense was from 2002 when they used Motorola current sensors to read out motor status on a PDA. Actually, Wildstang's 2003 autonomous program was called StangPS (Positioning System). They had a 2 inch resolution on their wheel encoder with that external Motorola processor. Interrupts should increase their resolution greatly (can handle many more pulses per revolution) and the fast PWMs should increase their efficiency in getting there. The question is: What will they spend their $200 budget on this year? Will they be the first to use the TTL port in competition?
