Voice driven FRC Robot
Driving a Romi with voice commands, using the wpilib timed robot framework.
I hooked up the MAX78000AI to the I2C bus of a Romi/Raspberry Pi and was going to make the robot voice driven. However I've been unable to program the board. I can communicate with it just fine over serial, I can see the drive, but any time I use openOCD or eclipse to program it, I get a very generic error that doesn't get me any further to debugging this.
The basic idea was that the MAX78000 would send the commands it heard to the Romi and the robot would translate those to commands. The Romi project recently shipped a feature that lets people write simple device drivers that pass through I2C which I thought would be ideal for this.
I've spent too much time just trying to get a build going, so will cut this project off now. I did, however, want to share what I'd done with the contest as they were gracious enough to send me the board for free. This is disappointing as I had high hopes for this board to be able to be used in FRC competitions as it's small and cheap but appears to be powerful enough to do some object tracking.
