Find the "WPIlib-sources.jar file (most likely in 'C:\Users\username\wpilib\java\current\lib' and unzip it into its own folder.

html file is a good reference it is sometimes useful to have the actual source code to view in Eclipse* here is how: This file is saved by default at 'C:\Users\username\wpilib\java\current\javadoc' under the name of 'index.html'. Many times during competition there will be no wi-fi provided to you which is why FIRST has kindly provided us an offline version of the WPIlib documentation.

Import .ClassThatYouWant View WPIlib Offline To use classes from the WPILib, just import them from the package: When you create an FRC Java Project, the WPILib will automatically be set as a required resource. It is written by a group of college students attending Worcester Polytechnic Institute led by Brad Miller. WPIlib is a library provided to us by FIRST that we use to interface with the various electronics on the robot and to simplify the writing of the code. Brad Miller A Framework for Simplified Competition Robot Programming The implementation details of devices like camera and gyros." "WPILib lets you focus on making your robot do whatever it’s supposed to do, and not on

TODO: How to create an iterative robot project By putting your code in each of the relevant methods, it is very easy to program basic robot functionality using this template. The teleopPeriodic method is called repeatedly during the teleop period, and the autonomousPeriodic method is called repeatedly during the autonomous period. The robotInit method is called once when the robot is turned on, the teleopInit method is called once when the teleop (remote operated) period starts, and the autonomousInit method is called once when the autonomous period starts. It contains five methods: robotInit, teleopInit, teleopPeriodic, autonomousInit, and autonomousPeriodic.

Iterative Robot is a basic template for creating robot projects.

The imaging tutorial is here and Java 8 is here. If your roboRIO is brand new then it has to be given the latest image and Java 8 needs to be downloaded on it. This section of the Eclipse installation page shows how to get the latest FRC plugins needed to deploy code.

Once you finish the download you will have the latest version of the Driver Station and all the FRC Utilities, which most notably include the roboRIO Imager used to configure brand new rRIOs.

Here is the ScreenSteps Live page detailing how to install the FRC Update Suite.

Similar to how you had to download the necessary software to turn your computer into a programming machine you now have to perform the final step to transform into a fully-fledged FRC computer.

Draw a diagram and use photos to document everything.Note that the links in this section will need to be updated every year (current year: 2015).

Set standards and aim to minimize the different size gauges (and connectors) you use.

Read the rules – make sure you use the correct wire gauge.

Decide on a standard set of connectors (and orientations) – can you wire in a new motor controller if something happens?.

Space is at a premium – consider brackets to hold vertical sections of components.

Building a frame to lock it in place is really important. You also want it easily accessible so that you can quickly swap it out.

Keep in mind that your battery is heavy – you can use this to set your centre of gravity.

Cut out paper in the sizes before hand so when you decide on a frame size you can manually position the parts to determine where you want them.

Look up the dimensions of the various components either on or through Solidworks (they have models for all the parts).

Consider electricians putty and/or zip ties to hold the barrel of the wifi router in place.

Learning to wire proper connections is crucial – if a wire short circuits or comes out you are up the creek.

Spend the off season learning what the different parts are – you don’t want to make a mistake from lack of knowledge.

Over the years we’ve learned a few things. Team 358 has produced a fantastic resource that goes into great detail about the different components. There is great documentation about the various parts at 2017 FRC Control System Hardware Overviewĭirections on how to wire everything up: (note there will be 2018 versions released). In FRC the control system takes input (either from sensors or from human control) and translates that into output (movement).
