Re: Automatic shifting software

Our team purchased 2 AM servo shifters, so its now the programmers job to mess with them a bit.

I think with what we're going to do is have automatic shifting, once a gear-tooth counter counts to whatever, then decrease motor outputs automatically, and then "gradually" bring them back up to speed, depending where the joy is at.

We also plan to have a switch to manually override the shifting... low, high, auto.

Hope this helps!
