I cant get our code to work we a a new team for FRC

[brin2476]

hi my team and i are new to frc we have done ftc and fll before and we cant fix our code we have some variables not used because we always make our variables first and when ever i put motor type this happens kBrushless cannot be resolved or is not a field and we our programming our can bus for it to our motor controllers are victorspx and talonsrx

here is our code since new accounts cant upload files

package frc.robot;

@brin2476

VictorSPX(rightdeviceid, MotorType.kBrushless);

You’re mixing information from the Talon & Victor CAN objects and the SparkMax Object. While both are CAN Controllers, their respective libraries are independently developed by their respective manufactures. The MotorType.kBrushless bit is only relavent to Rev’s Spark Max controllers.

import frc.robot.VictorSPX;

import frc.robot.CANTalon;

Oh wait, did you define your own VictorSPX and CANTalon classes as well? I assume then you haven’t gone through and installed the Pheonix Libraries for the CTRE CAN Motor Controllers.

WPILIB only has the Classes for PWM operation, all the CAN stuff is developed by the manufactures, so you need to install the relevent 3rd party libraries

3rd Party Libraries

For the Cross the Road Electronics Controllers, this would be the Phoenix Framework/Library

Welcome to Phoenix’s documentation!

thx would you mind doing a discord with me and my team some time to teach us some stuff???

[Oblarg]

The FRC discord has a programming channel that you might find useful for getting more real-time coding help.

I would suggest reading through as much of the official WPILib docs as you can, and possibly to work through an introductory online java course to make sure you’re fully comfortable with the language syntax and semantics before trying to control a robot with it.
