PARAMETERS ON THE FLY: Part 3

摘要

The idea behind this device is to allow the changing of those variables which are typically used to tune or control the robot. For example, if you have a robot that is designed to stop four inches from a wall, then you will probably have a distance sensor and a variable containing 4 and the bot will stop when the distance sensor matches the variable. However, when building your robot you find that due to inaccuracies in the distance sensor, your robot actually stops six inches from the wall. Typically, the only way to fix this is to edit your code, recompile the program, and download in into the robot. You might find you have to do this many times to get it just right. With the Hand-Held Console we are building, you will be able to do this on-the-fly, without having to change the code.
