#7695, #7696, #7697, #7701, #7724, #7753, #7861 removed various features
from the HAL, but forgot to clean up the handles, the WS API, or both.
Additionally, since AnalogInput is the only remaining analog I/O,
AnalogJNI was renamed to the more specific AnalogInputJNI.
Some discussion with the tech team showed that there were some real
advantages to being able to pass a 2nd type. It allows separating the DS
and Robot. Additionally, we can make the DriverStationBase class
actually usable instead of the existing DriverStation class which is
impossible to handle in intellisense because it has too much.
This won't fully be doable in C++, but we will need to implement
something similar in python.
- Remove status return from HAL level (clock getting should never fail)
- Remove 32-bit timestamp expand function
- Make monotonic_clock.hpp (formerly fpga_clock.hpp) header-only and
move to root hal include directory
Makes Java `Alert.Level.ERROR`, `Alert.Level.WARNING`, and
`Alert.Level.INFO` proper aliases (instead of separate enum constants
with the same value).
Cleans up Python tests.
Makes the Alert tests more consistent between languages.
I left "free speed" alone since that's the technical term for it. In
general, velocity is a vector quantity, and speed is a magnitude (i.e.,
a strictly positive value).
This PR also replaces the speed verbiage in MotorController with duty
cycle.
Fixes#8423.
Linear OpModes have several major downsides with no obvious solutions:
- Some things stop working automatically--e.g. in a linear opmode,
simulation will not work out-of-the-box; the user must explicitly call
sim themselves. there's a few other things we do periodically, but this
is the big one (it also forces some decisions on other parts of the
library—eg if we want Tunable to work in linear without the user
manually calling refresh, we have to run it on a background thread,
which means it must be thread safe throughout). We can help in some
areas (e.g. have sleep functions call background things), but if the
user is writing a loop that waits to drive a certain distance with no
sleep, it's an easy footgun
- Writing code with no sleeps is easy to do, and can hog an entire
processing core easily--yes, there's more than one core, but it could
still easily impact e.g. vision processing
- Many people I've talked to want robot-level periodic and periodic sim
functions. Given linear opmodes, we have two options, neither of which
is great: (1) don't provide robot-level periodic functions, and the
users who want those must set those up themselves and remember to call
them explicitly from every periodic opmode, or (2) provide them, but
only call them automatically from periodic opmodes, which could be
confusing for linear opmode users (they'd have to call them manually if
they wanted them). Currently we do (1) but someone in the community
already opened a change to do (2).
- Restarting the robot program fixes the "stuck in auto for the rest of
the match" problem but still feels like an ugly hack because the startup
time is not unlikely to make the robot not immediately ready for teleop
Removing LinearOpMode resolves these issues by moving to a periodic-only
structure. We can address the few notable use cases of LinearOpMode
(e.g. very basic autonomous sequences) in other ways such as Blocks
generated code, better state machine tutorials/documentation, etc.
The Listener installed by Preferences was referencing m_typePublisher which could be modified by a future call to setNetworkTableInstance(). Instead, reference a local.
Also made Topic.m_handle final, to guarantee that Topic.equals() is thread-safe, and still work after the publisher has been closed.
#8626 needs to switch to using reflection to load the robot class. Do
that with this PR so it's separate.
Also, remove the duplicated main files from the template, and instead
fixup vscode to handle this properly.
Also fixes the google compile-testing library to 0.23.0 (the latest
available at time of writing) instead of a wildcard
Jackson versions were inconsistent across projects; most were on 2.19.2,
but the fields subproject was on 2.15.2. All projects are now on 2.19.2
for consistency
Easier then the last one that put everything in a sub namespace. By
prefixing the name less things break, and intellisense will be less
confusing to new users during the transition.
Fixed a typo in the description of the getLoopStartTime function in both
C++ and Java TimedRobot class.
