Re: Using a computer to control the pic

We had a nifty program called ARCAMS that we wrote last year for diagnostics and configuring our autonomous. It had the capability to do this, but we only used it once or twice for diagnostics. I have often contemplated doing all processing on either a palm pilot or cruddy laptop attached to the robot itself. Let me know how this goes. To me, it seems largely unnecessary though. I have found the computing power of the FRC to be plenty adequite. now if we had a larger sensors budget or more complex autonomous tasks, things might be different.
