Trivialize calibration. #44

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

We want this before ATRIAS 2.0 is put on the boom.

Currently, calibrating the robot involves manually moving the leg to various 
lengths and angles and recompiling the Medulla firmware with the new 
calibration values.

One idea with which to avoid having to touch the Medulla code at all is to make 
use of the EEPROM on the Medulla boards. The calibration values would be sent 
from another machine over EtherCAT, and the Medulla boards could save those 
values in the EEPROM.

It would be cool if the robot could make use of its limit switches to 
automatically undergo a calibration procedure at the press of a button.

Please leave any suggestions in the comments below.

This can be a controller.

I intend on implementing this sometime in the near future.
