Programming gyro, noob programmer

#include “WPILib.h”
class RobotDemo : public SimpleRobot
{
static const float Kp = 0.03;
RobotDrive myRobot;
Gyro gyro;

public:
RobotDemo(void):
myRobot(1, 2), // these must be initialized in the same order
gyro (1)
{
myRobot.SetExpiration(0.1);
}

void Autonomous(void) {
gyro.Reset();
while (IsAutonomous())
DriverStationLCD *screen = DriverStationLCD::GetInstance();
{
float angle = gyro.GetAngle(); // current heading (0 = target)
myRobot.Drive(-1.0, -angle / 30.0); // proportionally drive in a straight line
Wait(0.004);
screen->PrintfLine(DriverStationLCD::kUser_Line1,“KimpeeAngle”, gyro.GetAngle());
screen->UpdateLCD();
Wait(0.1);
}
myRobot.Drive(0.0, 0.0);

};
START_ROBOT_CLASS(RobotDemo);

This is the program i’m writing for the gyro. It is supposed to get the angle from the gyro and print it on the driverstation dashboard. But it is not compiling. Some fixes and basic syntax/structure info pl0x.

Generally when posting asking for help its a good idea to include any and ALL errors you get. You had a number of “{” and “}” that didn’t match up. Most of your problems stemmed from the fact that you weren’t closing some of your functions, and while loops and such.

Also, if you use CODE] and /CODE] without the spaces, when posting code, it stays indented making it easier to read.

#include "WPILib.h"
class RobotDemo : public SimpleRobot
{
static const float Kp = 0.03;
RobotDrive myRobot;
Gyro gyro;

public:
	RobotDemo(void): myRobot(1, 2), // these must be initialized in the same order
	gyro (1)
	{
		myRobot.SetExpiration(0.1);
	}
void Autonomous(void) {
	gyro.Reset();
	while (IsAutonomous())
	{
		DriverStationLCD *screen = DriverStationLCD::GetInstance();
		float angle = gyro.GetAngle(); // current heading (0 = target)
		myRobot.Drive(-1.0, -angle / 30.0); // proportionally drive in a straight line
		Wait(0.004);
		screen->PrintfLine(DriverStationLCD::kUser_Line1,"KimpeeA ngle", gyro.GetAngle());
		screen->UpdateLCD();
		Wait(0.1);
	}
	myRobot.Drive(0.0, 0.0);
}

};
START_ROBOT_CLASS(RobotDemo);
