Accurate Lifting #185

Open CarlyAmar opened 9 years ago

CarlyAmar commented 9 years ago

The lifting has been complicated by an overlooked fact that it is an exponential increase due to the tape wrapping on itself.

1) Test IR+US for accuracy and switching 2) Test Recorded height vs actual height 3) define rotations for inches ratio at every height 4) Develop method in testperiodic to autocalibrate the lift 5) write the manually and IRUS recorded values to preferences

Well. I am 95.386% sure I know why the US sensor was super inaccurate. Its because of the fact that since the US senses distance in a cone, It was picking up the robot's frame as the elevator went up, instead of the ground. This is a problem. It actually seems like if the sensor did not have that problem, It would have worked perfectly. So that's something for next year, make sure that the sensors are mounted with a clear view of whatever they are measuring.
