Re: Grabbing Output from Robot Sensors
New development!

We tried instigating the Watchdog error while watching the serial output, and found something very interesting.

We could get output from the serial output (meaning that we got the printf values from the code in the serial output) and the sensors were working fine! Outputting data! But once we turned on the target console on the programming laptop (the programming laptop and the serial output laptop are separate laptops) everything STOPPED. Came to a STANDSTILL. No more output, nothing. The serial output stream seemed to FREEZE. That may be why the dog was barking.

But the data we received from the sensors are somewhat strange. The different printf statements mixed and mashed with each other, seeming to overlap. I can't make anything of the data because they overlap so often.

Any ideas?
