Team 67 - HOT C++ Programming Resources/Tutorials

[Jay Meldrum]

Hey All,

Just thought I would share a C++ Guided Tutorial and WPILib Tutorial that one of our students put together this summer/winter break. Please keep in mind this does not use RobotBuilder or dive deep into command-based programming. Our students find it much easier to program using the BuiltinDefaultCode template originally provided by WindRiver/WPI.

By no means do we want to substitute what FIRST/WPI provides in the ways of guides/tutorials. This is just a lot of material put together in way we feel our students can learn it easily and quickly.

We like to first teach our students the basics of C++ and then go into the application of the WPILib.

Any constructive feedback is always appreciated.

Thanks

I have only had time to go through the first 3 lessons of the WPILib tutorial. So far I can say that this is a very well-written tutorial for beginners. I look forward to reviewing the rest.

Just got done reading everything. Learned a few tidbits I didn't know. It's a great tutorial for beginners.

My only suggestion is to add a paragraph or two on Servos with respect to how they differ from motor controllers.

Thanks for sharing!
