REMINDER : NetBeans not talk to the CRIO

Here is the situation:

We are trying to use our joysticks and jaguars.Serial port was only a try, you can ignore it if you want.

Our java code:

package edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.templates;


import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.GenericHID.Hand;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.SimpleRobot;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.RobotDrive;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.Joystick;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.Jaguar;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.Watchdog;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.SerialPort;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.visa.VisaException;
import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.RobotBase;

public class RobotTemplate extends SimpleRobot {

    
    RobotDrive drive = new RobotDrive(1,2);
    final int baud = 9600;
    final int dataBits =8;
    SerialPort sp;
    Watchdog wd;

    public void autonomous() {

   System.out.println("autonomous OK");
        wd.feed();
    wd.setEnabled(false);

        drive.tankDrive(2, 2);
        
    }

    public void operatorControl() {
        System.out.println("Operator OK");
        wd.feed();

        try
        {
        sp = new SerialPort(baud,dataBits);
        }
        catch(VisaException vs)
        {
        }
        Joystick driveJoy= new Joystick(1);
        Jaguar leftControl = new Jaguar(1);
        Jaguar rightControl = new Jaguar(2);

        if(driveJoy.getTrigger())
        {
            leftControl.set(driveJoy.getY());
            rightControl.set(driveJoy.getAxis(Joystick.AxisType.kX));
        }
        else if(driveJoy.getRawButton(2))
        {
            leftControl.set(driveJoy.getThrottle());
            rightControl.set(driveJoy.getAxis(Joystick.AxisType.kThrottle));
        }
        else if(driveJoy.getRawButton(4))
        {
            leftControl.set(driveJoy.getMagnitude());
        }

    }
}

And here is the console output:

The driver sitation do not permit me to control both teleoperated and autonomous control. When i press enable the clock starts but stops after 3 seconds. Than it says "Teleoperated/Autonomous Disabled" and "Watchdog Not Fed".
Is the problem about my code? What should i do?

[MattD]

There are a few problems here. It looks like the NullPointerException is from trying to feed the Watchdog incorrectly. "wd" is never assigned. Remove your Watchdog object and feed the Watchdog like this instead:

Watchdog.getInstance().feed();

The code in your operatorControl() method is only going to be called once. You need to place it in a loop, like this:

public void operatorControl()
{
    while (isEnabled() && isOperatorControl())
    {
        Watchdog.getInstance.feed();
        
         // operator control here
    }
}

You might also want to add in a small delay at the end of the loop body, since driver station input only comes in at 50Hz. There's not much of a point in reading input faster than that.
