Go to Post One wondered why they couldn't practice in the gym that day - because the robotics team had it reserved was the answer. "Oh, we have a robotics team?" Sigh. This is a team with a low number. They've been around for at least a dozen years. There's still a lot more culture-changing to do. - GaryVoshol [more]

Re: Arduino using WPI library?

In the event of communication/power loss, we've designed the blimp to be able to coast downward at a safe speed so as to not hurt anyone or damage the airship too much. So I'd have all motor outputs be 0.

I don't have any experience with C, but I've looked at a bit of it and feel like I'd be able to pick it up. I can also learn the Arduino language. I don't know if there are any libraries for my project, but hopefully I'll be able to learn enough to do what I want to do.

Of course, I might as well try to use something off of the WPI library before I discredit it all together. It might work, but I'm certainly not reliant on it or LabView.

EDIT: If I were to use C, would I be able to use the WPI C++ Robotics library?
You can only use the WPI Library for the CompactRIO basically. It like "trying to install MS Word on Linux. It just won't work."
