I am working on a GPS test project with my kid which we hope will eventually be a school project. We just ordered a OOPIC and plan to experiment with it but are not sure if it has the CPU cycles or storage to meet this projects needs. We will see.
We are also searching for some very straight forward algorithms to accomplish part of the test. It should work work like this: A Robot begins by moving in a straight direction and using GPS data determines the straight line vector. Using continuous feedback from the GPS unit, the Robot must then maintain the straight line vector as closely as possible for an infinite distance until another action causes it to stop or turn. We have a good handle on the GPS data stream and know the limitation levels in various GPS gear.
If you know of any good links or books on this topic or of any college research projects that we could investigate. Please help.
Thanks for any suggestions!!!
