eastbots-java-code: Eastbots's Java Code

Introduction

This is an implementation of the drive train code in Java. Eastbots will be participating in FRC - FIRST Robotics and this is the programming team's project.

Contributors & Team Members: Ming Yang, Charles Zhang(Scapegoat), Amalan Iyengar

Flashing & Connecting to the Router

Current WPA Password: eastbots

To flash the router, open FRC Configuration Utility. Then set team number to 4795 and have everything on bridge mode.

Connect to the robot router statically (DO NOT USE DHCP) at the address (someone fill this in)

Working with the source

NetBeans is used as the primary IDE for development. In order to compile and test a seperate wpl plugin must be installed.

Update the build.xml

1. Right click on the Command project
2. Properties
3. Go to Java Sources Classpath
4. Add JAR/Folder
5. Select ~/sunspotfrcsdk/lib/WPILibj/classes.jar
6. Hope it works

Code Overview

Command-based programming is used. Currently the code is organized as follows: Everything thrown into 9 layers of folders, with Vision code seperate from src
