Misfires While Intaking #175

Closed dkt01 closed 2 years ago

dkt01 commented 2 years ago

The shooter sometimes shoots a ball while intaking. This appears to be due to the intake backdriving the conveyor. Possible software fixes (in addition to mechanical fixes)

Change conveyor idle state to brake instead of coast
Apply low reverse power (~5%) to conveyor during intake before ball is detected to prevent unintended motion

Seems mostly fixed by mechanical changes to intake/conveyor and braking conveyor motor

Closing for now since misfires are rare at practice field after changes.
