Triple Helix Java Utilities

[notmattlythgoe]

We have started to put together a library of the reusable utilities that we wrote this year with the intent to release them for use by other teams.

The repository is located here (https://code.google.com/p/triple-helix-utilities/), there is a compiled jar located in the trunk (https://code.google.com/p/triple-helix-utilities/source/browse/trunk?r=8) that you can download.

Please take a look and let us know what you think. Many of these will go through a major cleanup once the roboRios are released, mainly to upgrade this like generics, lists, and maps to the classes that should use them.

If you have any questions, or would be interested in adding something to the utilities library let me know.

Unfortunately I use IterativeBot more often so I cant use some of the functions in your library but I think it is a neat starting point, if I think it could use some additions I will let you know!

It's a bit harder to think of additions since as of now we will be having full Java SE functionality next year.

Also one note: You have a typo on PS4Controller, it says "PS4Ccontroller"!

Otherwise, Nice Lib!

Doh >.< Thanks for letting me know. I agree looking forward to the new system is difficult. From what I've heard the api isn't going to change much so it should be pretty low risk to develop some more utilities.

No problem, and yeah they aren't going to be able to re-factor WPILib in time for 2015, so same API but prettier language features :P

My plan is to start working on some utilities over the Summer with Java 7 to make robots next season with the roboRIO. It's always cool to see people's projects on here and even better with a semi-open invitation to add on to it.
