Re: Silly Programming screw ups (funny)

Well our drivetrain/arm PID code is duplicated in many places due to the patchy programming style which results from me and a mentor showing each other programs and adding in programs and taking out others and otherwise just making a big mess out of things...

I was trying to tune the drivetrain PID manually and so I was modifying our #define's for what I thought was the drivetrain PID...turns out it was the arm PID...ack! time to start over again...

On my hobbiest side:
Because I compile MCC18 projects using batch files which open and close quickly, I cannot even count the times I loaded the same program into a microcontroller because I failed to notice that the link operation had failed (MPLINK does not spit out an error file...drat).

Other times, I have forgotten to turn the power on in many projects...
