Python virtual speed controllers!

Hello all.

I know this should go in the python forum, but this can affect everyone.

here is the code, just put it all in one directory, running directions below:

	var3 = float(arg[2])
    else:

run debug_test.py
its a shell interface to my tests, you can throughly ignore show and var, it was a part of another project i attempted (and failed at)
driver does the cool stuff

have fun!

It should be noted that the python interpreter ported to the cRio is python3, not python2. So, if you were to run the robot.py on there, it would have some problems, particularly because of the print statement is now a function in python3.

I’m pretty sure this code was NOT intended to be run on a robot, and is meant to be a simulation run on a computer.

Referring to the top of the file:


try:
    import wpilib as wpi
except:
    import testing as wpi

That import statement seems to refer to the wpilib that is available in the python interpreter ported to the cRio. So, it could theoretically be run on the robot, if the bugs were fixed. Might not be useful, but it could work.

Also refer to inputs.py, it has the same thing that switches the input device from a joystick to predetermined values.

Ok, now I’ve confused myself, Looking at what you said, then looking at the code, and what the OP said, I have no clue what its meant to do, and how its meant to be used. Can the OP clarify this?

sorry,

I didn’t realize it was py3 on the robot, i will fix the prints.

What you can do with this is using the cmd framework I have set up, you can essentially have your laptop run any code the robot would (when this is done, of course) and get a result you can use a whiteboard to draw out.

This code will also (hopefully) run on robotPy.

Can I please have feedback on things such as my coding style? It would help a lot.

Sorry for the confusion.
