Hi Matt

I know lab 7 and 8 are reasonably close. However, there is now some PSD-reading 
and processing. Hopefully, by now everybody can implement a PID controller, or 
at least use the given one.
If someone uses more elaborate VW-functions, like VW-curve or so, additional marks 
can be given. The main thing is that they have a PID controller for keeping the 
distance from the wall. So, students can use this lab to consolidate a robust 
solution for the remaining labs. 
Lab9 will be more on image processing but everything will be integrated in lab 10.

Thanks
Thomas

  isn't this lab 8?, also isn't it a bit unfair on people to expect them to use last weeks lab. What if they never got last weeks working that means they straight away have no chance of getting full marks this week. Im sure that i used the VWomega driving interface when i did this and i got full marks, i guess its too late now seeing as some labs have already run though.

  Hi all

  There is some new software installed V6beta.
  If the students want a proper editor have a look in C:\dev-cpp :)
  pid.h is in C:\EyeBot\robios60\include
  libpid.a is in C:\EyeBot\robios60\lib
  Should any of this files be missing, you can put it in these places
  from the CD in the storeroom (my name is on it).

  compile only:
  gcc68 -o file.o -c file.c
  -c: compile, -o: outputfile

  compile & link:
  gcc68 -o file.hex file.c file2.o -lpid
  -o: outputfile
  file.c source file that gets compiled first
  file12.o: already compiled file that gets linked to file.hex
  -lpid: link library libpid.a 

  dl file.hex:
  download to robot


  Marking Key:
  ============
  Exp 1: 3/10

  Exp 2: 5/10

  Structure: 2/10

  If the students use VWxxx functions deduct -2 marks (8/10 is maximum then)

  Thanks
  Thomas
