Re: Help the field crew, reset your gyro in autonomous

I just had a thought that I figured I would throw out there.

What about using a Driver Station input to trigger the Gyro Open in Autonomous Disabled? Then the gyro bias can be calculated during team introductions.

Re: Help the field crew, reset your gyro in autonomous

This is an important issue as more teams are using the gyro.

We are thinking of adding a relatively quiet but noticeable buzzer that will turn on for 8 seconds- the last 2 seconds we will use to initialize the gyro.

If the field crew is moving the robot when the buzzer sounds, they know they have a few seconds to stop moving the bot- if they don't, they at least know that they should reset the cRIO.
