#FRC DRIVER STATION CLASS INSTALL#
The first step is to install VSCode you can download it at this link.
#FRC DRIVER STATION CLASS CODE#
This code is available on my Github here.
#FRC DRIVER STATION CLASS MANUAL#
Having that been said let us get into the CODE!ĭISCLAIMER: This VSCode plugin is Alpha, and its guaranteed to change before the season based on feedback? In addition, upgrading from Alpha to release might require manual changes to the build setup. With the release of the 2019 season being Deep Space themed me and my team are ready and can't wait for the release of the game in January. In the 2019 season, WPI is switching its support from Eclipse to the Visual Studio Code IDE since we have found this out I'm making this instructable one to help people on my team and to help other teams find their way while using the Visual Studio IDE. This instructable will assume that you know basic Java and know your way around the robot.
#FRC DRIVER STATION CLASS HOW TO#
Although it is out of date there are still things that you can learn about it like how to actually make the classes and write the code is the same.

from your laptop.Įxtend the program to print a message or display a value on the Smart Dashboard when a button is pressed on the xbox controller.Please keep an eye out for my next instructable on the current 2019 programming. Even though the program is running on the robot, you can set breakpoints, step through code, examine and change variables, etc.Press the continue button to continue running. The program will run until it gets to that line and then stop.Use the WPILib icon to start debugging: W->Debug Robot Code.Set a breakpoint on the line: xbox = new XboxController(0).You can even debug your program on the robot using the VSCode debugger just as you did with Java programs running on your laptop: Move the left X-box joystick right and left and watch the value shown for Left Joystick X change!.In the FRC PC Dashboard, select the Variables tab and scroll down to Smart Dashboard->Left Joystick X (that's the variable you created!).In the FRC driver station, make sure the Communications, Robot Code, and Joysticks LED icons are all green.Plug in an xbox controller and make sure it is detected.Two windows should open: FRC Driver Station and FRC PC Dashboard. Launch the FRC Driver Station on your laptop.Use the WPILib icon to deploy your program to the robot: W->Deploy Robot Code.Connect to the Peanut WiFi Hotspot (the default password is password).Use the WPILib icon to build your new program: W->Build Robot Code.SmartDashboard.putNumber("Left Joystick X", xbox.getX(Hand.kLeft)) In the Robot class definition where variables are defined, add.Import the XboxController and Hand classes:.Modify the newly created program as follows: The code will make use of the pre-existing XboxController class provided in WPILib that makes it easy to use an Xbox controller. You will put your setup code in the Init() functions and the code that should run repeatedly in the Periodic() functions. testPeriodic() - called periodically while robot is in test mode.teleopPeriodic() - called periodically while robot is in teleoperated mode.every 20ms) while the robot is in autonomous mode autonomousPeriodic() - called periodically (e.g.autonomousInit() called one when the robot first enters autonomous mode.robotPeriodic() - called periodically (e.g.robotInit() - called once when the robot starts.The Robot.java class that was created for you contains the minimal set of functions required for a robot program operating in the WPIlib framework. The file we're intersted in is src->main->java->frc->robot->Robot.java open that file by double-clicking on it. The project contains many files and they're listed and organized in the left tree. The WPILib extension then creates a new Robot project for you. At the dialog select Yes (Current Window).Select a New Project Folder and select (or create and then select) Documents\Robot Projects.Select Project Type->Template->java->Timed Robot.The WPILib extension is available via the icon in the toolbar (see here).
#FRC DRIVER STATION CLASS SOFTWARE#
We write robot software in VSCode just as we did for Java, but we'll make use of the WPILib extensions to create, build, and run our robot programs. Our first program will read the joystick position from an xbox or Logitech F310 game controller. Teams typically use gaming joysticks or xbox controllers. When driving a robot in teleoperated mode, we need a way to control its motion.
