It's handling trigonometry, ADC oversampling, interrupt counting, serial communications plus a few other things we're not quite ready to reveal

Overall I'd say we're utilizing 70% of the chips power and we're still looking in to a few more tricks.

Re: pic: Thousands of manhours of work... coming '07

Unfortunately due to unforeseen constraints, we will be unable to run the beta test this build season. A lack of availability of parts and funds as well as technical difficulties prevent us from being able to fairly distribute the technology. However you will see updates from us as we develop it further. This also allows us the opportunity to add in a few planned features, such as the ability to use a second, lower-rate gyro (perhaps even the KoP gyro) to measure vertical tilt and account for travel up and down slopes.

Thanks for all your feedback, knowing you're interested makes us want to work that much harder.

A little more information on that, as I'm sure it is affecting many other teams right now:

Due to the EU RoHS directive, which took affect Jan 1, 2007, you more or less can not get the ADXRSxxxEB series gyro board. The 401 seems to be an exception, however the 80 degrees/second maximum isn't near the speed of an average FRC robot.


We are using the ADXRS300EB for development, and although we could more than likely find a currently RoHS compliant gyroscope, with the amount of time it would take for us to purchase and receive the gyro as well as modify all of our code/documentation it would be too tight of a squeeze.

Rest assured that when this is fully completed, it will be a great system.

Thanks for the understanding,
Mike
