Our team is trying to make a swerve drive test bot but our programming mentor is out right now. When I deploy the code to the roboRio it says “java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot read field ‘swerveCanCoderConfig’ because ‘frc.robot.Robot.ctreConfigs’ is null.”
Here is the git GitHub - Shock-Awesum4961/ChargedUp_Swerve: Attempt to change to Swerve & command based bot
In configAngleEncoder() in SwerveModule.java, this line is referring to CTREConfigs here, which is not initialized. That line should at least be public static CTREConfigs ctreConfigs = new CTREConfigs().
@jdao is right, that is the cause of the problem, but I highly recommend you do not put a public static member in the Robot class like that.
The CTREConfig variable should be local to the configAngleEncoder method, it has no business being in Robot or being static.
