Kevin's done a great job again this year! The IR and encoder code he supplied last year was outstanding, and I had a chance to quickly flip through his code providing gyro, PID, and navigation scripting. See
http://kevin.org/frc/ the first link.
This year is going to be a LOT of fun! Thanks Kevin!
A few quick questions/comments for anyone who's looked at the code:
1) I think you'll need to source two encoders (not in the kit) to work with this code. The gear tooth sensors included in the kit may not cut it, unless you buy two more, and are clever about aligning them to simulate a quadrature output.
2) There is no camera code in here. So for teams looking to use the some combination of camera navigation, navigation scripting, and position sensing via encoders and gyro, you'll need to fuse the two together. So don't get too excited about things being TOO easy.
3) Will the included gyro code work with the accelerometer provided in the kit? Plug and play I hope? I didn't pick up on what kind of gyro Kevin Watson used for the demo robot.
Good luck to everyone!
