A Portable Serial Data-logger for the FRC Robot Controller

I just finshed building a cool project to help us debug our code during Hybrid and teleop mode.

I wanted to be able to record dagnostic data from the RC and I didn't want to use wireless because I thought it would also be helpfull during competitions.

I got a cool serial datalogger from Spark Fun and adapted it to the RC Serial Port 2. It only took a single 4 wire cable and simple code modification... Only a couple of hours work.

If you want to get dynamic driving data from your bot... check out the white paper I just wrote...
