Pointdrive for Desbot
Pointdrive is a revolutionary control system developed by me and a small team of programmers for Stuyvesant FRC’s 2007-2008 season. The system includes a bezier curve interpreter (written in C) onboard the robot’s IFI PIC18 RC unit as well as an AdobeSVG file converter on the host PC. This novel system allows drivers to literally draw the desired autonomous drive routine atop a map of the competition field, greatly reducing pre-match glitches and debugging.
- The code for Pointdrive is located somewhere in this subversion repository.
- The Adobe SVG parsing script is located here.
