Team 224 Line Tracking

Well, I finally got our photoswitches working!
I first tested out FRC’s line tracking, which turned out to be a total and complete FAILURE for us…
So, I wrote our own


Thoughts? Questions? Want source code?

Congratulations on creating a program that works. After seeing numerous videos of teams graciously providing an example of how their robot moves I find a need in having “graceful” movements. I noticed how the robot jerks. I think it might be better if the robot is allowed more room for inprecision to lessen the amount of turning for autocorrection. Of course this does theory does not include the factor of the precision for the arm.

Yeah, I personally don’t like the way it moves but

  1. It was more of a proof of concept
  2. I needed to learn how to use the sensors
  3. The tape we used wasn’t straight or Gaffer’s tape
  4. That’s just how truth tables work :wink:
    So at the time of the competition, I’ll probably tweak the autonomous to be MUCH smoother

Where can we get the source code?
