Re: Gear Tooth Sensor

our team's head programmer (GO 1221!!) got the encoder going earlier this week. the posts on this message board and kevin's code/FAQ were invaluable.

now... what to do with this information? we would like to use it to help the mobility of our robot become smooth and accurate. i have read the FIRST document for PID control of motors, it was linked somewhere but i forget now. seems this is a good match and is the right way to go.

but, looks really tough to program. maybe need floating point math?

also, has anyone successfully determined which direction the gear is rotating (see my earlier post that proves it IS at least possible with 2007 sensor). i'd appreciate your comments if you have.
