Why the sudden burst of code postings?

Bleh, now that you mention it I remember that it is a HAL accumulator, but the 200Hz bit is news to me; all Java code and documentation suggests that the period requested by spiInitAccumulator will be honored. Stuff like that ought to be documented.

You made me curious too. I thought I had remembered 200Hz, but it does look like we bumped it to 1KHz by default, and it does honor the period requested by spiInitAccumulator.

The documentation and cleanup of WPILib has actually been one of the big goals this summer and offseason. The HAL API was basically rewritten to be typesafe and faster too, along with being closer to what a HAL should be. In addition to some much needed consistency improvements and cleanups.

Thank god. It's been frustrating that the most used language has also been the worst documented.

Here's a friendly reminder that all of 4534's code (robot code, vision code, LED strip code, and our predictive scouting system ORB) is all available on our Github!

Happy Kickoff Eve Eve everyone!
