Additional Processors
Last year I was team leader and programming didnt get much of my time due to leading. But this year I want to do more programming. Im curiuos as to how many of you use extra processors to take load off the RC. If you do tell me a little about what you used.

Re: Additional Processors
Several teams have used the gumstix brand processor before.
200 and 400mhz models under $200 |

Re: Additional Processors
Question: what on earth could you be doing that you need a spare processor? except for vision of course, but that's handled by the fujitsu in the CMUcam....

StangSense: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3302 StangPS: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=20273 We used enhanced versions of StangPS in 2004 and 2005. Also in 2005 we added camera support to our custom circuit and used that information combined with the position info to approach the tetra correctly (our robot required that we drive parallel to one side of the tetra no further than 2 inches away) and this year we implemented an auto-tracking turret. 2006 is probably the first year where our software could have run entirely on the RC, but having the separation of tasks makes it more manageable to implement and debug. |

Re: Additional Processors
StangPS... *drool*
I've been working on something a little bit similar to StangPS that has required an additional processor. I, personally, don't have the time to develop something advanced enough to need a Gumstix (yet) so my projects use the Atmel AVR ATMega series microchip. I'd recommend checking out the STK500 development board. A friend of a friend described it as the "swiss army knife of avr development" and I tend to agree with him. |

Re: Additional Processors
Another processor can be useful for a lot of functions. I know couple of teams use it for navigation/positioning system. I've seen other use it for sensors. As of now, I know Team 612 is working on a voice recognition processor. That would be cool though; instead of joysticks, drivers will be using headsets. (Crazy F.I.R.S.T. ideas
) |

And just for clarification, Team 612 is working on a Voice-Activated Wheel Chair for a disable kid; and thats why they're using that particular processor. |
