FRC Walkthrough 2.0

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!
