FRC Walkthrough 2.0

This Blog entry is the 7th in a series intended primarily for FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams and their mentors.

As you probably already know, there was a mandatory LabVIEW FRC Update released in January: version 2.0. (You can find it here.)

There were some changes to the template, and so this is an updated walkthrough.

In this video I discuss:

  • Local variables
  • Global variables
  • Template changes to Robot main, Begin, Periodic Tasks
  • The included vision algorithm to find ellipses
  • The included autonomous independent code to rotate to target
  • The included teleop code which allows you to turn to target with a button press
  • Wiring techniques for clean code

Important Reminder (I put this on Twitter last week): don’t forget to update your cRIO image after updating to the 2.0 framework!
