Team 1675' s AutoFlex automous Program

[meatmanek]

Several years ago I wrote something similar. It's a really neat idea, but we had to scrap it because of the limited program space (pre-2006 controllers). Recording an autonomous mode is really nice, especially when you're in a pinch to make your robot go somewhere. I'm thinking we may even use recording as part of our autonomous this year.

What I'd really like to see is a program which can record from the OI's dashboard port.

The Labview dashboard will record and playback.

Team 360 will soon be putting significant human resources into either:

1 using the EEPROM to record an autonomous routine

2 using another, larger EEPROM connected to the TTL->RS232 (as used in the CMU2 setup) to record an autonomous routine

Because as many of us know, "forever chasing the 'bot around" with a laptop and a serial cable becomes annoying.

This application includes a view that records PWM outputs and converts it to C source code to replay the recording. It requires a compile/download cycle to use it since it generates the code.

114 has a similar system, although we sample the joystick inputs 10 times a second and store it in EEPROM.

Please think to bring a copy to Buckeye, team 1676 will have jumpdrives ready for a copy...
