There are a lot of C++ resources for FRC out there, check the links on the usfirst.org site and search CheifDelphi. |
haha
We're just in a pretty tricky situation....
The good part is that we have a mentor who knows Labview and a few outside contacts as well...
We'll probably just stick with Labview unless we get really frustrated....the biggest problem is getting out camera to work right now

LabVIEW is one of the other programming languages (other than C++ or Java) that is most often used in FRC
haha its fine

For example, a Select block in Labview is the functional equivalent of an if/then/else statement in C. The only weird thing about Labview is using dataflow through the wires rather than passing variables around explicitly.
The frcmastery videos start pretty basic and work up. NI.com also has a lot of good resources for Labview.

Yeah the wire stuff is pretty confusing...
We just need some practice and "play" time
