Autodesk Synthesis - FRC Game Simulator

[Greg McKaskle]

I don't believe there was any word regarding LV support. NI was aware of the development at various points, but the intern students wanted to focus on the other languages first.

I suspect that LV support will not be too hard to add, but I'm as eager as anyone to see how it works and how to plug into it -- our plate runneth over, so unfortunately we weren't able to be involved in the development.

I'll definitely be digging into the system to figure out how to plug into it. I'll for sure be adding C# support before the season starts, and if that goes well LabVIEW and python shouldn't be too difficult to add. Expecislly since LV on windows would be able to plug directly into the .NET plugin interface if interfacing at a lower level is difficult.

Yes. I am so ready to throw our Robot CAD and code on this thing and actually get to simulate driving our robot.

I assume no Solidworks support

Having seen this software demoed and having asked this question myself, I feel confident relaying that there will not be solidworks support. WPI is however working on a solidworks equivalent. That said you can get Inventor for free and convert your files from solidworks to Inventor to synthesis. I know that 955 did that with their 2015 robot.

I'm so ready to throw my team's robot CAD and code and fail my exams cause I was testing the simulator!

Unfortunately because of last minute fixes and testing we will have to push off our release for another day or two at the minimum.

We are not in the business of releasing unfinished products and we hope to make a application that will result in overall performance without skipping out on any particular idea.

But we have decided to remake our launcher as a last ditch effort and it will bring a new style for those who have previously seen the simulator!

Please check back for more info that we will be posting each day!
