Does the periodic in java need to execute in 20ms. If so is there a Periodic tasks in Java?

[DarthMaulCIS]

oh ok. thank you guys!

[DarthMaulCIS]

So the command will still execute correctly in Periodic Tasks, right?

[Mark McLeod]

Yes.
You just need to enclose your code in a While loop that runs forever (and a little delay to keep from hogging the CPU).

You can pretty much do anything that you'd do in Teleop.

There is an entire Forum for FRC Java here on CD! Better to post there as you will get some good answers from FRC Java veterans!

Yes, the telopPeriodic method in java in the IterativeRobot template must execute within 20ms.

There are a few things you can do to work around this.
1) Use the Simple Robot template
2) Use a state machine.
2a) Switch to the command framework (which uses a state machine). See http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...nomous-program
3) Run the code in a new Task. This would be equivalent to Periodic Tasks in LabVIEW.
