Mini map display on the Dashboard

[Kevin Phan]

Here's the code for the minimap. It currently has only the rotation function working. You can observe how the image moves across the field. You can probably tell where I went wrong.

Wow! awesome job! I was able to map that rotation to a knob control and rotate a picture, but once I've turned the picture, it keeps the box where it originally was.

Before rotation:


At a 60-degree angle:


Did you get this too when you tested? It may be because the image I used wasn't the one you tested with.

What I found while testing the rotation display on the minimap was that you need to have a center of rotation lined up close. If you look at the code for the rotation, you can see that I set the center of rotation close to middle of the image. I thought I had folder called photo along with it...

Here's the folder for the picture on the mini map. Place it in Program files and in the FRC Dashboard and the minimap should work, if you haven't change the path to the files of the picture on the Dashboard.

This worked. For the movement in the XY plane, is the box created by the robot picture movable? If not, it may be beneficial to try having two pixmaps, one for the field and one for the robot. The robot pixmap could then be moved around the field by use of property nodes and rotated based on your rotation code.

I'll see if I can get to work on that.
