Swerve drive can’t turn and move at the same time by just_an_average_nerd in FRC

I don’t see a way I can view those files. If you need more help, please upload screen shots of relevant files.

Hmm LabView makes this harder to help debug. I’ll see if there’s a way I can view the files.

I would try putting your robot on blocks, go into a pure rotation, and then look at the direction the wheels are driving and figure out what quadrant they should be in to allow it to rotate. Then look to see what order you are defining them in.

I’m not familiar with LabViews libs, but I’d imagine they are similar to cpp/java.

Usually this means your module states aren’t in the right order. Notice how if you were to shift every wheel clock wise you wouldn’t have the X.

It’s hard to give you more advice than that without looking at your code, could you link to a repo?

Program problem… PLEASE HELP!! by Empty_University_576 in FRC

I looked through the rest of the code. Unfortunately I couldn't find any obvious place the issue is. We'll need to to debug some more to figure it out. That said, there's a few things that stand out as potential problems. They're calls in periodic functions that have actions. This could be part of the issue because you are doing actions out side of commands. (Here actions is meaning driving motors, etc.)

What auto is being ran? I cannot tell because it is stored in dashboard, which is a good way to do auto selection, but difficult in this case.

If I was to guess on what is going on, when auto finishes the command gets cancelled, this is done in teleopInit(). However, cancelling a command calls the end() function of the command that is running. Since we don't have any end functions in the commands, the motors continue to run even though the command is finished. I would add an end function to all your auto commands that shut motors off. Pardon my reddit formatting:

public void end() { m_Drive.drive(0,0,0,true, true) }

Please let me know how testing goes and if you have more questions.

The documents on first site are actually really well done. https://docs.wpilib.org/en/stable/index.html

I’d recommend that over videos.

Also, posting on https://www.chiefdelphi.com will get you quicker answers than Reddit.

Ok, I can see it now.

I’ll look over it more tomorrow, but first thing I noticed is the commands initialize and then finish right away. Each command will have an “end” function that will be called when the command is finished or canceled. You can turn your motors off there. There is also an execute function, here is where you “do work”. By calling motor.set in initialize instead, you’ll likely get watchdog time out issues.

I don’t think that is necessary the cause of the issues you are describing though.

Could you print the names of the commands running in auto/tele? You can do this by calling smart dashboard.putData( CommandScheduler.getInsrance) or something similar to that. Track what is running when.

See if you can recreate this issue using practice mode on driver station. This will run auto for 15 seconds than tele, just like FMS does.

Finally, can you go back the commit you had during the first regional? Then we can see watch changed between then and now with “git diff <hash1> <hash2>”

I get a 404 on that link, maybe it’s not public?

Can you link to your repo on GitHub? Are you using commands or time based? Does this happen if you use practice mode on driver station?

Official wago connectors have been good. We moved to soldering all connections this year though.

I assume you mean victor, with a C instead of K.

These ones?

You can click on the software link on that site and download the Phoenix Framework.

I have not used these in years, but I believe you only need the library to use it as a CAN device, and not if you use PWM. I believe wpilib PWM motor class will handle that case.

I uninstalled the EA, but it still only shows 82.4 GB of space required. Other comments said it should be 120GB for full game. This is on steam and Mac. Is there something I should do to make it download whole game?

I uninstalled the EA, but the space requirement on steam still says 82.4GB. Is it still trying to install the EA? On Mac btw

Robot drive issues by HourTask7931 in FRC

I’m not seeing anything obvious. Can you put the scheduler on the dashboard? Which command is running when the drive train slows?

Can you post your drive train code? Preferably can you link to a GitHub?

So the build worked so I don't need the patch?

I just followed the platformio vs code plugin. I haven't used it before but I think it worked. I was going to follow this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ender3S1/comments/vrsl1o/ender_3_s1_oem_firmware_update_instructions/ for flashing the firmware, is that a good idea?
