Re: Encoder Code

I've been programming for over 25 years, including some fairly heavy scientific programming and hobby programming on PIC microprocessors, and I have found this entire process of mentoring in FIRST to be quite confusing.

I think that those who make obnoxious remarks have probably forgotten what it was like to be completely new at this, on a rookie team, and working with new tools.

I agreed to mentor. Little did I know that I would be directed to read hundreds of pages of tedious documentation, when instead a simple example might seem to be in order.

Oh, I know: search the forum for "simple example" ... sorry, no hits.
