# Photon Vision
[![CI](https://github.com/PhotonVision/photonvision/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/PhotonVision/photonvision/actions?query=workflow%3ACI) [![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/PhotonVision/photonvision/branch/master/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/PhotonVision/photonvision) [![Discord](https://img.shields.io/discord/725836368059826228?color=%23738ADB&label=Join%20our%20Discord&logo=discord&logoColor=white)](https://discord.gg/wYxTwym)
PhotonVision is the free, fast, and easy-to-use computer vision solution for the *FIRST* Robotics Competition. You can read an overview of our features [on our website](https://photonvision.org). You can find our comprehensive documentation [here](https://docs.photonvision.org).
A copy of the latest Raspberry Pi image is available [here](https://github.com/PhotonVision/photon-pi-gen/releases). A copy of the latest standalone JAR is available [here](https://github.com/PhotonVision/photonvision/releases). If you are a Gloworm user you can find the latest Gloworm image [here](https://github.com/gloworm-vision/pi-gen/releases).
If you are interested in contributing code or documentation to the project, please [read our getting started page for contributors](https://docs.photonvision.org/en/latest/docs/contributing/index.html) and **[join the Discord](https://discord.gg/wYxTwym) to introduce yourself!** We hope to provide a welcoming community to anyone who is interested in helping.

## Gradle Arguments
Note that these are case sensitive!
* `-PArchOverride=foobar`: builds for a target system other than your current architecture. Valid overrides are:
* linuxathena
* linuxarm32
* linuxarm64
* arm32
* arm64
* x86-64
* x86
- `-PtgtIp`: Specifies where `./gradlew deploy` should try to copy the fat JAR to
- `-Pprofile`: enables JVM profiling
## Building
Gradle is used for all C++ and Java code, and NPM is used for the web UI. Instructions to compile PhotonVision yourself can be found [in our docs](https://docs.photonvision.org/en/latest/docs/contributing/photonvision/build-instructions.html?highlight=npm%20install#compiling-instructions).
You can run one of the many built in examples straight from the command line, too! They contain a fully featured robot project, and some include simulation support. The projects can be found inside the `photonlib-java-examples` and `photonlib-cpp-examples` subdirectories, respectively. The projects currently available include:
- photonlib-java-examples:
- aimandrange:simulateJava
- aimattarget:simulateJava
- getinrange:simulateJava
- simaimandrange:simulateJava
- simposeest:simulateJava
- photonlib-cpp-examples:
- aimandrange:simulateNative
- getinrange:simulateNative
To run them, use the commands listed below. Photonlib must first be published to your local maven repository, then the `copyPhotonlib` task will copy the generated vendordep json file into each example. After that, the simulateJava/simulateNative task can be used like a normal robot project. Robot simulation with attached debugger is technically possible by using simulateExternalJava and modifying the launch script it exports, though unsupported.
```
~/photonvision$ ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal
~/photonvision$ cd photonlib-java-examples
~/photonvision/photonlib-java-examples$ ./gradlew copyPhotonlib
~/photonvision/photonlib-java-examples$ ./gradlew <example-name>:simulateJava
~/photonvision$ cd photonlib-cpp-examples
~/photonvision/photonlib-cpp-examples$ ./gradlew copyPhotonlib
~/photonvision/photonlib-cpp-examples$ ./gradlew <example-name>:simulateNative
```
