Re: NI releasing/designing new controller for FRC
Same thing here. The only time we ever saw 100% CPU was due to a bug in SmartDashboard that I missed the patch for. Even then it didn't cause any significant issues. Same thing with Java from what...

Re: April Absurdity 2013
My apologies for the mistake. While totaling up scores, your division winner bonus for Curie was accidentally dropped, taking 12 points off of your score for Curie. This correction makes you the...

Re: April Absurdity 2013
Allow me to paint a picture of almost every bracket submitted. 469 has seeded first in Archimedes, and picks 254 as their partner. 33 makes a run for Einstein from 2nd or 3rd seed, but looses to the...

Re: April Absurdity 2013
I'm hard at work, but there's a few technical issues with them, as well as some surprise personal obligations that are sucking up my time. A fair number of brackets have mistakes which are confusing...

Re: April Absurdity 2013
Yeah, that was part of my plan from the beginning for the scoring program. I'm still working on some of the issues in the bracket parser though, so it will probably be a little while before I get...

Re: THE HORROR! THE HORROR!
In my experience, often when people blame the FMS for their problems, they really should be looking at the overall setup of the robot on the field. By simply running it in the pits and saying "it...

Re: How is 54" size limit being inspected?
As I understand it, the measuring tape was supposed to be used to get a rough idea of whether they were at risk of breaking the cylinder. They subtracted a portion from the 54" to account for the...

Our team also got a similar result, 3/4 reliably with just humans eyeballing the angles. I'm not sure if we got video of it. We're touching the pyramid while making the shots, so defense is a...

Re: remainder function
From my installation, a grep through the headers folder shows no remainder functions. It's possible I'm missing something, but it looks like it doesn't exist at all in the vxWorks API.

Re: CIM->Victor 884->Arduino not working
I've never tried this personally, but if I had to hazard a guess it would be that delay takes an unsigned long as an argument, but you're passing a floating-point time. You probably want to use...

Re: Keep the engine speed

I'm not sure of how one would do that (I'm not very mechanically minded), but there are other ways to measure the speed of a wheel. On our shooter last year we had a beam sensor which detected the...

Re: Printing over other text
The data on the driver station is only updated when you call dsLCD->UpdateLCD(). Clear() doesn't make that call, so by calling Clear() you're only clearing out the robot-side buffer, but not updating...

Re: Printing over other text
Drop the "1" argument when you switch to that. PrintfLine assumes you're starting at the front of the line
dsLCD->PrintfLine(DriverStationLCD::kUser_Line1, "Trigger");
dsLCD->UpdateLCD();

There's no mechanism to clear a single line other than using spaces, however if you're willing to erase the whole screen, you can use dsLCD->Clear(), which is just a shortcut for writing spaces to...
