Command Based Programming
 

Im assuming that the command based programming is more even based programming. Create a command, associate it to a JoystickButton and when the button is clicked, the command is run.

I have put printlns in all methods, and am clicking the joystickbutton but nothing is printing.

I have even ran the start on the command, but it is not getting into the execute, or initialize for that matter.

I have also added it to a group and started the group, but nothing.

Ideas?

Could you post your code?

If you wrote the code by hand (rather than RobotBuilder generated) make sure that you are calling Scheduler.run() in the TeleopPeriodic method like this:
That's what actually causes the commands to run each iteration.

Would I need to do that with the iterative robot code?

stick to command based its much easier to manage.

But if I was going to use iterative would I need the

Command based programming is based off of iterative. Instead of putting your code in the xxxPeriodic() methods, you call "Scheduler.getInstance().run();" in them and put your code in commands.

Look at the command based example to see how this is supposed to be done.
