Re: Eclipse Mars vs Neon
As Peter Johnson said, we are supporting Neon. The plugins were released late because it took us a while to fix the installation process with Neon.

Re: Installing frc toolchain on NixOS
If you're up for it and are familiar with NixOS's packaging system, you could make new packages for your distro to build everything from source. That's what I did for Arch Linux because it fit Arch's...

Re: [FRC Blog] Control System Update

Re: [FRC Blog] Control System Update
The CAN motor controllers are a big maintenance burden for us. At least in C++, the CANTalon code is 5.5k lines of code spread over two classes (we use a PIMPL pattern). Half of this is a class we...

Re: The OpenRIO C++ Coding Guidelines for FRC

Re: Robotbuilder c++ code dies in Test Mode
I think std::static_pointer_cast will work here. The type is definitely a Talon, so std::dynamic_pointer_cast isn't necessary. Note that the pointer passed in can't be that of a stack allocated...

I've found the indexer to not be the ultimate authority on whether one's C++ code compiles. Try building the project and seeing if that error prints in the build console as well. If it doesn't and...

Is that error being shown by the Eclipse indexer, the build console, or both? Did you start from an example project, and if so, which was it?

Re: How do you use the WPILib?
What classes do you use the most?
This year, we used the CANTalon in place of Encoder, PIDController, and DigitalInput.
SampleRobot
CANTalon
Solenoid
Timer
Do you edit any of the provided classes?
