hi, i am a new programmer on my team, Can anyone please tell me how to program a spike in c++ :confused:

Quote:

class:

public:

please, some one help!!

Define the spike as:

Code:

Relay *[variable here]

Initialize it as:

Code:

[variable name used above] = new Relay([Relay port it's plugged into on the DSC])

To use it, place where needed in your code like this:

Code:

[variable name]->Set(Relay::kForward)

-OR-

[variable name]->Set(Relay::kReverse)

-OR-

[variable name]->Set(Relay::kOff)

That is one way to do it. However, instead of declaring the Relay as a pointer (*) you can do it this way:

Code:

class Team1771Robot : public SimpleRobot {



RobotDrive driveTrain;

Joystick leftStick;

Joystick rightStick;

Shooter mainShooter;

Relay mySpike; //Declare your spike's name here



public:

        Team1771Robot(void):

         driveTrain(LEFT_DRIVE_MOTOR_PORT, RIGHT_DRIVE_MOTOR_PORT),

        leftStick(LEFT_JOYSTICK_PORT), 

        rightStick(RIGHT_JOYSTICK_PORT),

        mainShooter(SHOOTER_TENSION_PORT, SHOOTER_RELEASE_PORT),

             mySpike(MYSPIKE_PORT) //Put whatever slot the spike is.



                



        {







        }

        ;









Later on in your code, say, in the teleop, you can say



void OperatorControl()

{

while(isOperatorControl() && !isNotDisabled())

{



mySpike.Set(Relay::kOff); //Or forward, reverse, etc.



}

}
