Which Framework should I use?
 

I gather that Advanced and Basic are now gone. After the updates I see Framework with game code and Framework without game code. Upon initial review they seem identical. What is the difference, and pros/cons for each? :confused:

Thanks...

I'm not at school at the moment but by the name I guess the framework with the game code includes the usual example code already in: device references opened in begin, arcade drive in teleop, line tracker (this year) in autonomous. Also possibly the vision, though without a tracker algorithm. The framework without the code seems as though it has empty begin, teleop, autonomous etc. subvi's.

That is what I thought initially. I didn't do an exhaustive comparison, but they both seemed identical in the code that was in each of the sub-VIs?

PS. All the documentation I'm finding out there refers to basic and advanced. It looks like the documentation has not caught up with the latest updates yet?

Re: Which Framework should I use?
 

What documentation are you reviewing? Did you look at the documentation installed with LabVIEW and accessible from the getting started page?

Best I can tell, all the differences between the the two frameworks are in the autonomous.

Re: Which Framework should I use?
 

From what I can see, the auton is the only difference.

I was looking at the 2011 Programmers manual, and some other document that I found on the NI site (I have since lost the link). I did find one on NI called FRC Framework Tutorial that was modified on Jan 10th that is updated, but it only addresses the "Framework w/o the game code". I'll go back and pull them up and look at the differences in Autonomous. Seems weird that they would create such confusion for such a little difference. :confused:

Thanks though...

From what I can tell, the difference is to maintain a lasting standard. The Game code has the extra stuff like special camera tracking codes etc. While the W/O code is the default "let me do everything my way" code.
