Re: paper: FRC #33 The Killer Bees 2013 Software - BuzzXVIII (Buzz18)
OK, finished the 'CulverDrive' paper and attached it with example code.
What is CulverDrive? -Improvement on previous 'Cheesy' and 'Halo' style drive systems, which are already used by many top teams -Utilizes Logitech F310's round joystick boundary to provide a virtual steering wheel effect, allowing the driver to gracefully navigate the field -Utilizes a mathematical algorithm similar to the 'Cheesy Drive', the intent in design was to replicate the functionality of a 'Cheesy Drive' using a real steering wheel on a joystick. -Award-Winning (Waterford 'Innovation In controls' and Championship 'Quality' specifically noted CulverDrive in judge comments) What does the zip include? -LabVIEW source code, direct from Buzz18 software release, plus required BuzzLib interpolation blocks (prelookup and interp_2d) -C source code, used in simulation and intended for Vex targets and readable without LabVIEW. Unfortunately it does not directly run on Vex because RobotC does support the C language very well. Does it require a Logitech F310? -In short, yes. The Logitech F310 has a circular joystick boundary, which is key to the algorithm. It's also smoother to drive than a square of octagon. -The Xbox 360 joystick has an octagonal boundary, which will not provide the desired effect nearly as cleanly. The Logitech DualAction has a square boundary, which will not work very well at all. As always, feel free to ask questions regarding any of our software. |
