Simulators?

Is it possible that there is a program that takes the FRC code (exactly as it is or modified) and simulates autonomous mode (with output)? I’ve searched the forums and came up with the java simulator which isn’t quite what we’re looking for. Our robot is still in design and the minibot is not yet completed, so our programmer is looking to test the program (he’s new).

Thanks,

I’m not sure if this is the one you’ve found already but did you see this http://www.robbayer.com/re2.shtml It is the only one I know of.

Not exactly what we’re looking for. We’re looking for a program that will take our source code and simulate the robot’s movements on screen (or at least with coordinates, etc). Just forwards and backwards and turning, just for him to get an idea how to code this stuff.

Well, because Rob Bayer’s stuff is open source, you could just modify the code to move a robot, that you would have to add, based on the pwm outputs and such… but that may take too long

Hey,

I just created something that might be interesting for you:

I think I’m going to have a Viewer Window that is going to do what you need soon so I tink that could maybe help you : )

N/M I guess. He’ll figure it out. I think what he wanted though was something that printed outputs as if the robot itself was running on the computer. (Every time he hit run in the compiler nothing happened.) He was hoping there would be some sort of output or something so that every (. whatever milliseconds) it would print PWM06+ to a console so he could see his autonomous code was working. He’s a noob.

Are there any tutorials on autonomous mode I’m about to strangle him.

I’m confused, are you guys sharing one account together?
However, my program is not simulating a microchip, what it can do is simulating (parts of) a robot by getting the outputs of a real RC that is running and connected to the PC.

He doesn’t have an account so I’m posting for him. When I say we I mean either me and him or the whole team. Not important.

And yes he’s looking for something that emulates the microchip with output.

BTW thanks for everyone’s responses! :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Here’s an idea… Slap Rob Bayer’s emulator together with undefined’s interface… create a new “viewer” for undefined’s program that sits on top of RE2.

lol. just my thoughts. it might actually work but there are sure to be better ways.

Is there any way I can play with camera stuff in Rob Bayers program? What is his program anyway? I cant seem to find any info on his site.
