Java Programming BETA Webinar - TODAY

[Strants]

Has the beta language officially been released? I ask because our team volunteered to do a seminar on Java at our kickoff, and we thought it would be nice to do a live programming demo of the most recent software.

They won't be released until kickoff. More then likely, it will include more stuff related to the game then was included in the beta test (like the line tracking demo last year).

Our Java code from 2011 compiles fine under the new libraries, so none of the WPILib classes or methods we used disappeared. However there are some minor changes to the numbering of the slots in the cRIO to account for the new 4-slot version. I think this was the only major change in existing WPILib classes and methods that we noticed.

I noticed the SmartDashboard changed from all log() methods to putInt(), putDouble(), putBoolean(), ect.

however I went ahead and make my own post() methods to handle this in my DashBoard class.

The older log entry points should still be available in smart dashboard. Did you not find them?
