RE: [TANKS] C12C question
Maybe, but not for a while. One step at a time. I’m not 100% sure the Challenge is do-able by garage quality robotics (and garage quality funding). I found some differential equations describing paintball trajectory that include lift and drag. I need Tracy’s advice to help me translate them into code that will compute the marker elevation based on a target distance. The math is hanging me up. She’s pretty booked up with school, though. I think it will be interesting to see how close the equations come to correctly describing the flight. I may be better off with some experimentally obtained lookup table of range vs. elevation.

[TANKS] C12C question
Hello - I'm getting Bad Kitty ready for next weekend and I see it's developed an involuntary turret rotate condition. I suspect my turret ESC is going bad. Until I replace it, I wonder if I can adjust the trim of the controller to compensate. I know I can do this via the serial interface, but I'd have to disassemble part of the tank to get access to the C12C. Even then it would be hard to program the device while checking the turret for correct centering. Is there a way to set the trim from the PS2 controller directly ? Like double-secret set of magic button presses or something ? Thanks, Doug -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
