This whitepaper discusses a simplified method for using a gyroscope on your robot. Paper includes background theory, supporting mathematics, construction details, and source code. This paper was presented at the 2006 Novi FIRST kickoff.
This 95 page document is the year's upgrade of a manual posted on this form prior to last season. It has been substantially revised since the last post. The most significant addition for this year is an exposition of code that exploits interrupts for wheel counters and the time integration of a...
This is the Techno-Gremlins code from 2004. Some features:
* Multi-autons, selected by OI.
* Multi-positioning pnuematics system.
* feedback loops.
* Arm safties
- Length limit switch and pot limit
- Hand current (Will reset if reversed)
* Gyro
* Quadrature
* Desensitized joystic...
On our 2004 robot we utilize, not one, but two gyros. Our horizontally mounted gyro is employed to compute our robot’s heading, both relative and absolute, while our vertically mounted gyro is used to detect x-axis tilt.
Code samples will be provided throughout this paper to explain our programm...
