Innovative Controls

[Lightfoot26]

I have been the Electrical and Programming Captain on team 1625 for 3 years now, and through those years we have had some pretty cool control methods (Like our Load Cell and infrared camera tracking in 2012 that won Innovation in Controls at Midwest) I am looking to make a jump in control methods over the summer and I need some ideas! I have been researching different sensors and discussing their applicability, I have also been looking into co-processors, vision programming ect. I have come to CD to see what cool control methods you have been using, be it an awesome custom dashboard, a beautiful vision system, "hacking" together a sensor, custom circuits, making individually addressable RGB LED's work in Labview, auton magic, ect. Share your awesome control methods, and hopefully we can learn and draw inspiration from each other!
