Robot Nightmare!

[NS_Radication]

UPDATE: the microswitch was are operational, the robot is wireless, the Driver Station reads voltage.

NEEDED: what are some methods of reading when the micro switches are active because I can only think of the driver station lass in Java. Or does it show up on the driver station. I saw the PSOC I/O device and I had it installed before re-imaging the Classmate, so does that mean that I have to do that again?

When I try to run a default camera program, I get an error in a Windriver code not existing (this is java not c++. Silly netbeans) but seriously, it is confusing to find out how to make the Axis 206 camera working. If I can get an image to feed to the driver station, then I can attempt to build code to detect the environment with tutorials and chiefdelphi!

I have downloaded and installed the Kinect SDK and FRC Knect Server. I plan to test it tomorrow but how does it respond? I could only set it up today. We tested the Kinect via the SDK and it is operatnal!

TIPS: I have learned that when. Jaguar is moving a motor (for sample:CIM Motor), that when a conveyor belt system has enough friction, the following can occur:

With too much friction and the wire sparks and heats up, direct battery Test on CIM motor.

When there is some friction, the Jaguar has to accelerate. If it goes from 0 to 1.0 in speed with force, it overheats for 3-4 seconds and resets. So you have to accelerate or inch closer until the speed is just enough to have full power from that point.

**As for photos, I will see if I can get some tomorrow. We got our cannon initially mounted, so the electronics board looks like a scary cave with an orange RSL and blue and green power LEDs.

Thank you all agin in advanced and this crunch time robot is workin faster, how strange? Well Happy Competitns and have a merry crunch session!
