Using joystick buttons with Command based programming

I'm new to command based robot programming with Java and for some reason I can't get the Joystick buttons to control my solenoid for my drive shifter.

It appears as though it's not even accepting Button input, but I'm not positive. I want Joystick Button A to enable the one side of DoubleSolenoid then another button to enable side 2 of DoubleSolenoid.

I'm thinking my initialization of my button is wrong or something?

Re: Using joystick buttons with Command based programming

Instead of putting

Code:

joystickButtonA.whenPressed(new shiftDriveSpeed());

in init, make a function public OI in OI.

Code:

public OI(){

joystickButtonA.whenPressed(new shiftDriveSpeed());

}

Also, in shiftDriveSpeed, return true on isFinished or else it'll constantly shift.

When I do that and I deploy I get no RobotCode and I see this error in the console:

Code:

When I remove that code I get RobotCode and can still use the drive train however I see this in the console:

So when I modify it with what you mentioned it breaks it, however there may be something underlying in my code that's ultimately causing that issue.

Re: Using joystick buttons with Command based programming

Whenever we get the robots don't quit error, we're always assigning two sensors to one port, so maybe you're assigning two solenoids to one port on the PCM.

I was assigning the PCM to the default of 0. I thought I needed to since the PCM wasn't responding to any of my button clicks, but it looks like I just don't know how to properly assign button clicks with Command Based programming.

So when I remove the PCM assignment from the DoubleSolenoid object that error goes away. But then I re-add the modifications you mentioned before and I still get this error:

Re: Using joystick buttons with Command based programming

If it helps the repo is here and I just committed it:

https://github.com/ckirschner/FRC-869-Robot-2016

Re: Using joystick buttons with Command based programming

You might want to have Commandbase.init() in your robotInit.

Like so:

Code:

 public void robotInit() {

                oi = new OI();

        // instantiate the command used for the autonomous period

        CommandBase.init();

That's a snippet from our code.

I'm not positive that's the issue, but it might be a problem.

Re: Using joystick buttons with Command based programming

in robotInit, you have to initialise your subsystems before your OI. Else you will try to build commands that use methods from non-existing subsystems

Okay that makes sense then. I will check that out today. However one question I have about that (I apologize I'm not actually a programmer, just appointed to this position as the best candidate to figure out programming the robot :yikes: )

If you look in my code I created the driveTrain class in the Robot class but not in robotInit and the drive train works. So is that sufficient? And if so, or if not, what exactly is robotInit doing that the declaration inside the Robot class isn't?

Code:

public class Robot extends IterativeRobot {



        public static final ExampleSubsystem exampleSubsystem = new ExampleSubsystem();

        public static final driveTrain DriveTrain = new driveTrain();

        public static final driveWithJoysticks driveWithJoysticks = new driveWithJoysticks();

        public static final camera cameraSystem = new camera();

        

        

        public static OI oi;



    Command autonomousCommand;

    SendableChooser chooser;



    /**

     * This function is run when the robot is first started up and should be

     * used for any initialization code.

     */

    public void robotInit() {

                oi = new OI();

        //chooser = new SendableChooser();

        //chooser.addDefault("Default Auto", new ExampleCommand());

//        chooser.addObject("My Auto", new MyAutoCommand());

        //SmartDashboard.putData("Auto mode", chooser);

    }
