Re: Getting Familiar with Programming in WindRiver

Thanks for the reply. You've been really helpful ever since I posted this thread.

After much thinking (upon watching the game), I think we've made the decision to go with the USB joysticks that we're given standard to our team (Logitech ATK3).

Right now though... I have another problem that has been giving me major problems. Aside from not being able to get our camera correctly connected and configured when it's plugged into the cRIO... I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to program it to track colors or shapes in WindRiver. Do I do so with pure code or is there another utility that helps monitor that? And of course... How am I supposed to implement that into the code.

Secondly... Right now, the only way I've gotten the motors to move is through the RobotBase class. Is there any other way to control a specific motor (whether it be Jaguars or Victors) a specific speed? The functions in WPIlib.h only tells you what speed you want to set it to... but there are no parameters that reference the PWM port the motor is plugged into...
