Autonomous Not Running (VSCode 2020)

cactuz · February 1, 2020, 5:55pm

Hellooo-
We are trying to test our automonous code, but it isn’t working. The code was building but isn’t doing anything to the robot. It’s supposed to run forward for x amount of seconds and then backward for y amount of seconds. The robot turns on but remains stationary. Could you please check over our code?

Here’s the git hub link: https://github.com/danielle45/Programming-Challenge-1

Thanks,

Looking through the code, I see a giant red flag

github.com

danielle45/Programming-Challenge-1/blob/master/src/main/cpp/Robot.cpp#L70


  // This makes sure that the autonomous stops running when
  // teleop starts running. If you want the autonomous to
  // continue until interrupted by another command, remove
  // this line or comment it out.
}


void Robot::TeleopPeriodic() { frc::Scheduler::GetInstance()->Run(); }


void Robot::TestPeriodic() {}


#ifndef RUNNING_FRC_TESTS
int main()
{
  frc::RunHALInitialization();
  globalRobot.StartCompetition();
}
#endif

Why has main() changed from the default? The amount of code you have there is not going to work at all, and is going to cause the robot to be initialized in a half initialized state. That is really something you should never be changing.

Okay thanks for the help! We will look into it.
