I've been considering purchasing a gumstix computer( netstix 200xm-cf, or waysmall 400mhz). I know many teams have used gumsitxs on their robots, and I'm curious how you've programmed them?
I don't have access to a linux computer
, and I have never done any linux programming
, but I have done lots of Windows and embedded programming. I would appreciate any linux programming resources, or code for gumstixs, but more than anything I would like any comments on gumsitx, or any other systems you've used.
I know someone will ask so I'll say now. I plan to use the gumstix in a position tracking system, and poisably connect a web cam to replace the $&%#$^ CUMCam. I also want to be able to save a record of all inputs, motor outputs, and any other data I can so I can replay a match virtually to help identify problems.
EDIT: After looking through the gumstix models I'm leaning towards a Waysmall due to the serial ports.
Thanks,
Eric Haskins
