Programming Shooter C++

[JCrusoe]

Without your current code its hard to tell what the issue is, but I would make sure that you have it in the constructor correctly. I'm going guess that its a Jaguar, but it could easily be a Victor as well.

#include "WPILib.h"


class RobotDemo : public SimpleRobot
{
	
	Jaguar shooter; 

	Joystick driveStick; //it can be any name, not strictly driveStick :)

public:
	RobotDemo(void):
		
		//JAGUARS//
		shooter(1),	    //This is what port your shooter motor is in on the Sidecar
							
		//JOYSTICKS//	// These must be initialized in the same order
		driveStick(1)	// as they are declared above.
		
	{
		
		shooter.SetExpiration(0.1);  //for Driver Station
		
	}
	
	void Autonomous(void)
	{
			//where your autonomous would go
	}
	
	void OperatorControl(void)	//The Operator Control, what you're looking for!
	{
		while (IsOperatorControl())
		{
			
			if(driveStick.GetRawButton(2)) //This is a structure that says if 2 is pressed, shooter
			{							   //will be set to 100%
				shooter.Set(1.0);
			}
			else                           //anytime when it isn't pressed (else), the shooter will turn
			{							   // off
				shooter.Set(0.0);
			}
			
			Wait(0.005);  // wait for a motor update time
		}
	}
	
	void Test() 
	{
		//what runs during test mode
	}
};

START_ROBOT_CLASS(RobotDemo);
