drive problems

[will_1359]

ok, so i'm setting up just the basic tank drive for our robot. i'm using code from one of the, what i assume, was a beta team. and it seems to check out to me.

         getWatchdog().feed();

        
    }

    /**

    public void operatorControl() {
        getWatchdog().setEnabled(false);
        while (isOperatorControl()){
            drivetrain.drive(leftStick.getY(), leftStick.getX());
            //slower itterations seem to work more smoothely
            Timer.delay(0.005);
        }
        stop();

    }
    
    public void stop(){
        drivetrain.drive(0.0,0.0);
    }

}

but when i send it over to the cRIO, on net beans on the consol, it says
"no user supplied robotmain"

now after i detach the computer with netbeans and plug the cRIO into the classmate via ethernet, it works fine, i can select autonomous, and hit start and the light will blink like its supposed to. but nothing happens. which makes sense. but when i set it to teleop, and make it run, still nothing will happen on the robot.

when i move either of the joysticks, there is no activity. when i look under setup on the classmate and move the joysticks it shows no activity, but when i press a button the coresponding one will light up blue.

also on the operation screen on the small status window, i get a message "watchdog not fed".

been trying to get this work for 3 days now, the big problem is that i feel i should have had this done by the end of the first day. any help would be great.

This basic robot class name gets embedded in the file resources/META_INF/MANIFEST.MF and needs to change when the the name of the main class changes (there's code in the NetBeans modules to do this automatically, but it doesn't seem to work at the present).

So check that the class name in the MANIFEST.MF file matches your team's robot class name (ie "edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.templates.RobotTemplate 2" in your case).
