2016.3.15

update:

1. Solved many problems which was mentioned above

problem:

1. Clear function dosen't work correctly.

blueprint:

1. Now that we are able to use uart to transport data from PC to cart, which means that it is possible control cart by PC. It'll including these function:

• use keyboard as a joystick
• replace keyborad and LCD's function
• make a full use of PC's performance to do some adjust work like PID adjustment
• more to think and discuss.

2016.4.2

update:

1. Since I know that uart can do I/O the same time(almost), developed the control function.
2. Now using Lowpass filtering to ajust speed figure and had a great effect.
3. Rewrite clear function, now it's good to use.
4. Rewrite axis limits autoreset function, now it will not take a long time to reset bit by bit.

problem:

1. But goRoute function can't work well since main control program changed, now click goRoute button with what click EnmergencyStop button to dirve the cart. Need to fix it.

blueprint:

1. To make this software more useful. use it at an analyse tool to have a speedup of our dear cart.

2. completed save function(auto generate its name)

blueprint:

• Same as one above

2016.4.26

update:

1. Remove wheel's rotation plots 'cause it is too slow to update intime
2. Add a useless function to record time node manually, I don't know why there are people who wanna go to somewhere by carriage just for get their destination faster when a car available.

blueprint:

1. Record cart information automatic.
2. Demotion plot function as an alternative option
