Running Java Program

[scott.paul]

Our programming team is also having a hard time with the initial example in the Java getting started document. Our first error was a version mismatch as we had an old cRIO image. The next step was to figure out how the RobotDrive works. The Javadoc does a good job explaining the classes and constructors.

Here are a few points of interest: public RobotDrive(int leftMotorChannel, int rightMotorChannel, double sensitivity)Constructor for RobotDrive with 2 motors specified with channel numbers. Set up parameters for a two wheel drive system where the left and right motor pwm channels are specified in the call. This call assumes Jaguars for controlling the motors."

"Specification of an IO Port consists of a slot number followed by a channel number. If the port is on the lowest numbered slot/module, the slot parameter can be left out."

For the Getting Started Example, I assume that the example will have to be modified for a Victor controller or if you a higher slot number than 4 on the cRIO. I am not sure how to modify the the RobotDrive for a Victor yet.

Finally, I believe our current issue is that our project was not selected as the main project and as a result, a println from another program displayed in the output.

Interesting, I never thought about that. We've recently had some issues pop up, and I'm wondering if that'll solve some, if not, all, of our problems.
