Re: Drive Straight C Code using Encoders without PID?

Great suggestion, if you can tell us how to cram 40K of program into a 32K CPU?

GYROs, and PID had to go in the Nav code, we got so much other code that we need with using the camera that we can't fit it all in there....once we intergrated the encoders, camera into the navigation code, and using a multi pointer struct commands to drive our automous mode, our program had to go on a slim fast diet...

That's why we can't use the PID code that we deleted..
