2016 updates • Battery Voltage Compensation Mode. • Current Closed-Loop Mode. Talon will servo to a target current-draw. • Use can now specify the peak forward and reverse output during Closed-Loop. • Talon supports an advanced control mode called Motion Profile, • Robot API supports human units
Benefits of CAN • Intelligent Controllers • Single 2-wire bus • Inherent Noise Immunity • Simplified Wiring • Offloading Tasks from the RoboRIO • Closely bound sensors • Automotive Standard
Benefits • Quick Learning Curve (yes, really!) • Knowledge Carry Over (lots of C-like languages) • Marketable Skills • More closely resembles the processor architecture • Street Cred!
Java / C++ • Instantiation of objects (subtle difference) • Garbage Collection • C++ : Do it yourself • JAVA : automatic • Java Engine vs C++ Native • printf() vs COUT
PID-With Mag Encoders • What does PID stand for? • Why do I need to know about it? • Why do people make it seem so hard? • How easy is it to implement? Think Cruise Control !
