Subject: [WheelWatcher] Update to Sample code?

Hi Pete,

I'm wondering if you will be updating the smaple program for the PIC. 
I'm still having a lot of trouble with speed control on my robot.

I have a new one mostly done.  I spent a huge amount of time on it 
during the week, but then have been extremely busy the last two days 
(including today), so I have not had time to fully debug it.  Velocity 
control works, and I am just starting to debug position control.  It 
will be a lot better than the original example.

Are you under some kind of deadline, like a contest, or can you wait a 
couple more days?  I have friends in town, so I would rather take the 
rest of the weekend off ;-).

-Pete

Subject: [WheelWatcher] New Version of CCS C Example
Message-ID: <43751D3A.9070906@noeticdesign.com>

At the request of one user, we've rewritten the CCS C advanced position 
and velocity control example.  It now makes more stable position moves, 
and controls velocity pretty well.  The code is also more readable 
(though compiles larger).

Check it out here:

Also, the long-awaited WC-132 WheelCommander is now for sale at Acroname.

Buy: http://www.acroname.com/robotics/parts/R279-WC-132.html

This differential drive motion controller includes code similar to the 
above example, and a whole lot more.  A simple RS232 or I2C command set 
lets you set-and-forget the motion parameters for your robot while your 
main code handles sensors and behaviors.

Sincerely,

Subject: [WheelWatcher] New Lower Prices on the WW-01
Message-ID: <437529E8.6080505@noeticdesign.com>

The strong demand for the WheelWatcher WW-01 has allowed us to lower our 
production costs, and so we're passing those savings on to you.  A pair 
of WW-01s is now $49.95, $10 off the original price, at Acroname.com.
