GetLocation() or GetAlliance()

Hello,

I am wondering how to use either of the two functions (GetLocation() or GetAlliance()) whic gets the location or alliance off of the Driver Station.

I want to make it so that I can have 2 or more different autonomous'. How would I fully implement this?

Thanks,
Davis

Re: GetLocation() or GetAlliance()

You can actually read the joysticks during disabled. I setup a snippet of code this week to read the driver joystick and check if the trigger is held for 3 seconds, and switch to a different autonomous routine.
For reference, here's that chunk out of my code

Code:

static Timer button_combo_timer;

if (BUTTON_COMBO_SWITCH_AUTONOMOUS() == true)

{

    button_combo_timer.Start();

}

else

{

    button_combo_timer.Reset();

    button_combo_timer.Stop();

}



if (button_combo_timer.Get() > 3.00)

{

    button_combo_timer.Reset();

    switch (autonomousMode)

    {

    case AUTONOMOUS_MODE_1:

        autonomousMode = AUTONOMOUS_MODE_2;

    break;

    case AUTONOMOUS_MODE_2:

        autonomousMode = AUTONOMOUS_MODE_3;

    break;

    case AUTONOMOUS_MODE_3:

        autonomousMode = AUTONOMOUS_MODE_1;

    break;

    }

}

switch (autonomousMode)

{

    default:

    case AUTONOMOUS_MODE_1:

    driverStationLCD->PrintfLine((DriverStationLCD::Line) 3, "Using 1");

    break;

    case AUTONOMOUS_MODE_2:

    driverStationLCD->PrintfLine((DriverStationLCD::Line) 3, "Using 2");

    break;

    case AUTONOMOUS_MODE_3:

    driverStationLCD->PrintfLine((DriverStationLCD::Line) 3, "Using 3");

    break;

}

driverStationLCD->UpdateLCD();

Interesting, where would I place that to read it before a match?

Thanks

Re: GetLocation() or GetAlliance()

If your using iterative robot, in

Code:

void DisabledPeriodic(void){

}

I'm not sure if your using simple robot though :)
