All of them are basically logging values, except for the Gyro rotation one; just logging values may seem easy, but actually knowing what classes and methods to use is kind of time consuming to figure out without examples. WPILIB doesn't do a very job describing the behaviour of classes and its methods, and I needed to know if the . Basically I needed to see what the output was to get.

Just using these classes with my actual robot code would have been be next to impossible this year if I didn't write some(very basic) test to code to verify that the device was indeed correctly wired, and to see what the output looked like.
