Re: WCP: 2017 Product Launch + MCC 2017

Wow. Lots of cool things I'm excited to see here. The Flipped gearbox looks really cool, and the price seems much better then past dual speed gearboxes.

Re: Display Mat Images On SmartDashboard?

If you can wait until kickoff, expect some changes then that will make this a whole lot easier. ;)

Otherwise, as euhlmann said you'd probably have to implement your own CameraServer if you want to...

Re: Java compile error

If you use the deploy function in the link above, or as Erik posted, that will build for the RoboRIO, and then fail if it can't connect. Trying to just run it on the desktop will compile as well, and...

Re: Communication from Arduino to Roborio

One option for connection is to directly hook up the arduino over usb to the roborio. This provides power, and you can use a serial connection to communicate between the roborio and the arduino. I've...

Re: Creating Separate WPIlib Installs on one User

Re: Position and velocity PIDControllers using same encoder

Oh I guess thats true. A small wrapper class would allow that however, and that class should be pretty thin.

Re: Position and velocity PIDControllers using same encoder

Creating 2 encoder objects on the same pins technically would be allowed, as long as you used the DigitalSource constructors for the encoder, rather then the int constructor, and passed in...

Re: Roborio CPU what is resonable

By default, SmartDashboard only actually sends new data every 100ms. It stores the data locally in the table before that time. Yes too many updated keys can be a problem, but in all honestly 50+ keys...

Re: FMS-lite / cheezy-arena - having trouble getting driver station to show up

Are you using the newest build of Cheesy Arena that was just released yesterday? I believe that SegFault bug was fixed in that release if it's what I think it is.

Re: Roborio CPU what is resonable

So a robot program with nothing running causes about 30% cpu usage by default. This is inherent to the driver station thread, and slow IPC calls on arm linux, which are used to get the driver station...

Re: Explanation of Cheesy Poof's Quick Turn

Because of the way the algorithm works, when there is no throttle applied, no output will be sent to the motors at all, even if the robot is commanded to being turned. What quick turn does is...

I think think another trick is making sure you put the encoder on the weighted wheels. That way you don't have to worry about chain tension, and the encoder should always be touching the ground, at...
