Getting Started in Windriver C/C++

[Mark McLeod]

A later version of that guide came with the latest Wind River V1.2 update.
Look for it on your PC at C:\WindRiver\docs\extensions\FRC

The Guide will grow and improve with each new update.

Chapter 3 of the control system manual will be your friend for getting the team number and updates applied.

The userguide is a very limited help unfortunately, our programming team sat down today and wrote a good portion of our autonomous code with the camera. You will find that this:

Will be your friend as well as the individual source files. We worked almost exclusively off of them.

While I am encouraging teams to use C++ as it has more features for debugging (the NI guys will argue with me about that but I have yet to see a real example) you will at this point need to have a solid understanding of classes, inheritance, and types, especially what an enum is.

There are also a lot of FIRST examples under File->New->Example->VxWorks Downloadable Kernel Module Sample Project

Not none of this will work right until you have applied the WPILib, NI, and DS updates.
