New to Java
 

This is our second year competing with FIRST Robotics. Last year we used LabView and this year we decided to change somethings up by using Java. I have some questions:

1. Is there a manual I can look at for programming in Java for this competition?
2. How do you deploy Java code to the cRIO (perhaps some kinda manual hence question number 1 can help me out here)?

Thank you so much!! :)

I'll make you a video tutorial :)

Do you have a robot with a basic drive train to load the code onto?

Re: New to Java
 

Yes Sir! We will use the robot from last year. :D
Thank you so much!!

Re: New to Java
 

I'm assuming it's a pretty basic drivetrain but we'll make it do some fancy stuff.

Re: New to Java
 

Yes it is a basic drive train. And that would be great!

Re: New to Java
 

do you have anyone on the team who has programmed in java before?

if not that's okay, I'll give a brief overview when walking you through the code.

you'll need to sign up for a drop box account, then i'll add you so you can download the code for getting started, I'll be posting the video to screencast.com too.

You'll have to excuse the quality, it was made in my basement at midnight, I figured you would be more concerned with the content :)

There are also some great sample codes provided by other FRC teams on the internet.

RobotBrains.org (maintained mentor of a New York FRC/FTC team) has some excellent presentations in both Java/C++/Specialty(?) you can look at, public!

Here's his Java page: http://www.robotbrains.org/xwiki/bin...rogrammingJava

Off the top of my head, RobotBrains.org. They have some excellent tutorials.

Also if you need a reference to a stray method or class check out http://www.wbrobotics.com/javadoc/overview-summary.html :)

Re: New to Java
 

Also, both sets of FRC plug-ins (NetBeans and Eclipse) should come with examples in addition to the ones mentioned previously - and some of the plug-ins come with help content on launching projects and such. Though I may be a little late mentioning this as it seems CD has already given you lots to get started with :)

Re: New to Java
 

on the site eaRIER MENTIONED IT USES IMPORT FILES WHERE MIGHT THESE BE FOUND?

Re: New to Java
 

Can you post the link so we can watch the screen cast?

Also, I have written soem geting started stuff (Netbeans + java):

on: http://team2648.com/

Here is our resources page:

Here is how to get started with netbeans:

Hope this helps.
