runtime data collection

[BigJ]

Team 1675 is working on a new version of Autoflex that kind of does this, or could be extended to do this. Autoflex was a program designed by a former mentor for the IFI control system that recorded 15 seconds of certain inputs into the controller's EEPROM and played them back as a 15 second autonomous mode.

We record inputs, but it could be easily changed to record returns from any function or method, I think, and be extended to any time period. We are using the file system on the cRIO and I think that's where they are running into problems at the moment.

It's not really done yet (psh, who wants to build and program a robot anyway). We dead-reckoned our autonomous this year.

I'm not totally up to speed on the progress on our new version (in C++ anyway) so I'll see if i can convince one of our other programming mentors to make a post.
