Should we use CTRE Lib Suite 4.4.1.9 or the latest CTRE 4.4.1.12 Jar file?

For FRC -should we be using the CTRlib.jar for CANTalon from CTRE Lib Suite 4.4.1.9.zip or the latest CTRE 4.4.1.12.zip?

We are having an error saying - “The type com.ctre.CANTalonJNI is not visible” when we use the latest CTRE 4.4.1.12 based CTRLib.jar file while the code works when we stick with our older version from 4.4.1.9.

Please let us know if we should be going to the latest CTRE 4.4.1.12. zip based CTRLib.jar?

Thank you.

CTRE 4.4.1.12 is the latest, and is supported for FRC.

What’s the line of code that is giving you an error?

The import of package CANTalonJNI is throwing an error.

I don’t think you need to import that class. In fact I don’t think it was ever necessary for any of the Java FRC API. You should be able to comment that import out.

Something to note, CTRE Toolsuite version 4.4.1.12’s VERSION_NOTES file incorrectly lists the toolsuite version as 4.4.1.11, causing it to be improperly versioned by any tools relying on this file to contain correct information.
