i was thinking on how to make autonomous’ “easier” to program without the tedious run, adjust variables, re-download, re-setup, cycle
i was thinking of making a program that “copies” (records all input data) the drive movements
so that way, all you have to do is to drive the robot for 20 sec autonomous (1 min for challenge) and it will get ALL the data for you
now i know this is HARD to do, but maybe we can brainstorm ideas on how to do it and work on it as a “group project”. and if we ever get it done, then everyone can benefit from it! this would be most useful for rookie teams or teams with little programming background.
what do you guys think?
IDEAS:
have a way to record the motor direction and speed
have a “print screen” every time a input value changes (ALL the sensors (pot, encoders, ultra, line) and motors)
have another program that extracts the print screen data and make it manageable (delete repeats, ect)
have another-other program do compile all that data into a file that can be read by the micro-controller (no need to drag and drop/type all that code back in)
i know this seems far fetched, but with a forum of bright engineers and s a handful of professional coders, im sure we can pull this off!
