  • ca2: grouped utility functions in a separate folder that is shared with the simulator.
  • CPS: fixed a bug that affected the initial target dectection for cars that were not tracked by computer 0.
  • CPS: implemented linear error correction for the computation of camera position.
  • CPS: now compute and send also the 2D speed of the cars. This makes Andrea CPS not compatible to previous ca2 versions and my ca2 not compatible with previous version of CPS.
EFFECT OF PWM AND STEER INPUT ON THE SPEED DYNAMICS

I made car1 run on circles with fixed PWM and steer input for a total of 16 runs. The full data gathered and the detailed description of how the experiments were performed can be found in my folder on Dropbox in "../backup/data/circle_7-27-2013".

Figure pwm.png shows the speed of the car obtained by keep the steer constant and varying the PWM. The relationship between PWM and velocity is quite linear. For some reason, when the steer input is high, the speed observed with PWM 140 is slightly lower than I would expect.

On the other hand, the steer effect seems to be a little bit more complicated (see steer.png).
