Pneumatics Coding
 
Hi. I'm the new lead programmer on our team and we want to use pneumatics on our bot. We've never done pneumatics before, so I don't know how to code it AT ALL! If anyone could give me any resources on how to code the Pneumatics or even some sample code it would be much appreciated! :D :D :D

Re: Pneumatics Coding
 
Here's some code to run a spike relay to control your compressor, and it uses a pressure sensor to turn it off.
Code:

/*
 * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
 * and open the template in the editor.
 */
package edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.templates.commands;

import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.Relay;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.RobotBase;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.smartdashboard.SmartDashboard;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.templates.RobotTemplate;

/**
 *
 */
public class ManualRunSpikes extends CommandBase {
    Relay ms1 = compressor.compressorOne();
    boolean thatBoolean = false;
    boolean isFlipped;
   
    public ManualRunSpikes() {
        // Use requires() here to declare subsystem dependencies
        // eg. requires(chassis);
        requires(compressor);
    }

    // Called just before this Command runs the first time
    protected void initialize() {
    }

    // Called repeatedly when this Command is scheduled to run
    protected void execute() {
        if (oi.getB() == false) {
            isFlipped = false;
        }
       
        if (oi.getB() == true & isFlipped == false) {
            thatBoolean = !thatBoolean;
            isFlipped = true;
        }
       
        if (compressor.getCompressorSwitch() == false & thatBoolean == true) {
            ms1.set(Relay.Value.kForward);
        }
       
        if (compressor.getCompressorSwitch() == false & thatBoolean == false) {
            ms1.set(Relay.Value.kOff);
        }
       
        if (compressor.getCompressorSwitch() == true) {
            ms1.set(Relay.Value.kOff);
        }
       
        SmartDashboard.putBoolean("asdf", thatBoolean);
        SmartDashboard.putBoolean("switch", compressor.getCompressorSwitch());
    }

    // Make this return true when this Command no longer needs to run execute()
    protected boolean isFinished() {
        return false;
    }

    // Called once after isFinished returns true
    protected void end() {
            ms1.set(Relay.Value.kOff);
            thatBoolean = false;
    }

    // Called when another command which requires one or more of the same
    // subsystems is scheduled to run
    protected void interrupted() {
            ms1.set(Relay.Value.kOff);
    }
}

Here is our compressor subsystem:
Code:

/*
 * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
 * and open the template in the editor.
 */
package edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.templates.subsystems;

import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.DigitalInput;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.Relay;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.command.Subsystem;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.smartdashboard.SmartDashboard;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.templates.commands.ManualRunSpikes;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.templates.commands.RunSpikes;

/**
 *
 */
public class Compressor extends Subsystem {
    // Put methods for controlling this subsystem
    // here. Call these from Commands.
    Relay s1 = new Relay(1);
    DigitalInput comSwitch = new DigitalInput(1);

    public void initDefaultCommand() {
        // Set the default command for a subsystem here.
        //setDefaultCommand(new RunSpikes());
        setDefaultCommand(new ManualRunSpikes());
    }
   
    public Relay compressorOne() {
        return s1;
    }
   
    public boolean getCompressorSwitch() {
        return comSwitch.get();
    }
}

You use Solenoids to control pneumatic cylinders, and here is some code for them:
Code:

/*

 * To change this template file, choose Tools | Templates
 * and open the template in the editor.
 */
package edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.templates.subsystems;

import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.Solenoid;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.Talon;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.command.Subsystem;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.templates.RobotMap;


/**
 *
 */
public class Intake extends Subsystem {
    // Put methods for controlling this subsystem
    // here. Call these from Commands.
   
   
    Solenoid shoe = new Solenoid(1, RobotMap.sole); // creates Solenoid
    Solenoid spirit = new Solenoid(1, RobotMap.soul); // creates Solenoid


    public void initDefaultCommand() {
        // Set the default command for a subsystem here.
        //setDefaultCommand(new MySpecialCommand());
    }
   
   
    public void push () {
        shoe.set(true);
        spirit.set(false);
    }
   
    public void pull () {
        shoe.set(false);
        spirit.set(true);
    }
   

}

Hopefully that isn't too confusing, feel free to ask if you need any more help.

Re: Pneumatics Coding
 
While you certainly can go with a fully manual method like Bennett has suggested, WPILib will take care of most of that for you. This is all that you really need to do for the compressor.

Code:

Compressor compressor = new Compressor(1, 2);
// 1, 2 are locations of your limit switch and compressor relay, respectively
compressor.start();

This will start the compressor and run it until the pressure switch has been hit. It will start back up again once the switch turns off again.

I recommend putting this in your main Robot class, where the compressor is declared as a class variable and you initialize and start in your robotInit() method. You can also create a pneumatics subsystem, and have its default command run the compressor.start() method in the initialize() method.

For operating solenoids, the WPILib documentation has an example, you can find that here:
http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...ders-solenoids.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
