Encoder data recording
Hello! I was watching a video on the TrossenRobotics YT channel about position feedback and data storage and it occurred to me that this would be an amazing thing to be able to do with our robot using encoders. Does anyone happen to know how you could capture data from the encoders and play back the movements of the robot in reverse? I'm not even sure where to begin with the logic. We (hopefully) have a pretty foolproof autonomous that mostly uses dead-reckoning, so this would is probably for a summer project / non-competition robot. I'm thinking we would record our data in three arrays; one for the elapsed time, one for the left encoder, and one for the right encoder. I have no idea how exactly we would do that. Another issue might be storing that data for long term (I'm not very familiar with polymorphic coding, so I don't think we would store the data within the code...). If anyone has any thoughts on this subject, feel free to share!

How the mentors of a team inspire their team is unimportant, as long as the team is inspired to do great things. We on 1824 believe in 'student designed, student built', but that does not mean that all teams should do as we do. For inspiration comes in many forms. - Daniel_LaFleur [more]
