Re: Analog-to-Digital Converter Code
Hello all,
First off, I want to thank kevin for writing this code.
This *should* help us use all those sensors we just looked at and admired last year as rookies.
Unfortunately, our team is not gifted with a large number (read - 0) dedicated programmers. So I'm not too far ahead of the kids at this point which disappoints me because I cant really help them the way I should be (when I barely know anything myself).
But I did read all the readme.txt files associated with the code Kevin's supplied, and I have 2 main questions which deal with getting the code and hardware on the same page.
1. After I hook up my PWMs to the sensor (take your pick) and plug it into the RC's analog input, how do I make the code know which port I'm looking at?
and
2. How do I test / troubleshoot / even see the output from the sensor?
Is there some easy way to use a "print to a .txt file" or something? (something I'd try on a PC) Better yet, what is the BEST way to get all the information? I'm seeing outputs in some of these posts mentioning the same kind of scaling that you see when you output to one of the motors. So should I find some way to get the info back to the dashboard (which I still need to set up). Even with that, we need to integrate (for many of the sensors) and seeing the value at any one time wont tell us too much.
Hope I'm not being too redundant or posting in the wrong place. If any of my questions indicate that I'm just fundamentally wrong, point that out too, please.
It's all for the kids and the future,
Aaron
