This is NOT only for the more experienced programmers.
This is for ALL PROGRAMMERS at ANY level of experience. EVERYONE is invited to identify and dispel their demons!
Who knows... you might have developed a solution that no one ever thought of (and someone might wish they came up with the idea you found) or you might hear a comment regarding how someone else handled the same problem - only better.
I'm looking for unusual problems (unusual from YOUR point of view). I'm looking for those problems that made you wish you knew more about the laws of Physics and the relationships between "cause and effect". What was the method you used to "Beat the BA$TARD"!
An example might be something like "Open-Looped Motion Control" with or without a motion control card. That is, speed or position control using only discrete inputs.
Or,... Auto-Correction based on last-performance WITHOUT an analog indication of current-performance.
Granted, for all of you purists (Yeah, I'm one of them) there are more effective ways to handle a lot of problems with extra hardware... however, things being as they are for some folks, you have to work with what you got!
So please, lay-off on the hardware solution UNLESS that is the ONLY solution!
