This PR gives the Notifier HAL thread RT priority 40 in RobotBase after
HAL initialization and before the user code is run. This drastically
improves scheduling jitter for TimedRobot's AddPeriodic() functions (in
3512's experience).
It's too risky to set user code as RT because badly behaved code
will lock up the Rio (potentially requiring safe mode to recover).
This needs the user program to be setuid admin to succeed.
- GenericHID is now concrete, and has only getRawAxis/Button(int) functionality
- getXxx() has been moved into Joystick as that's the only place where it makes sense
- Hand (and therefore getXxx(Hand)) has been removed, replaced by specific getLeft/RightXxx() methods in XboxController and the new PS4Controller class
- C++ ::Button:: and ::Axis:: enums have been converted to identically-namespaced static constexpr ints
They don't provide much utility for the end user. A print at the call to
HAL_ObserveUserProgramStarting() was added in their place so it's still
clear when constructors have finished running.
Currently, we have functions like TeleopInit() for running code on mode
entry, but no such functions for running code on mode exit, and it's
cumbersome to add those in user code without making a custom robot
class. This PR adds exit functions to TimedRobot.
Some example use cases include DisabledExit() for operations when the
robot enables (whether that be into teleop, autonomous, or test) and
AutonomousExit() for disabling feedback controllers.
Also refactored RKF45 implementation to match the new style, which is
easier to read.
The tests were switched from RKF45 to RKDP since it's more accurate.
The non-NT portion has been moved to wpiutil.
The NT portion has been moved to ntcore (as NTSendable).
SendableBuilder similarly split and moved.
SendableRegistry moved to wpiutil.
In C++, SendableHelper also moved to wpiutil.
This enables use of Sendable from wpimath and also enables
moving several classes from wpilib to wpimath.
Some valid warnings like throwing NullPointerException or using a for
loop instead of System.arraycopy() were fixed.
Abstract classes marked with PMD.AbstractClassWithoutAbstractMethod were
made concrete because they already had protected constructors.
Fixes#1697.
Substantially improves Mechanism2d by moving it to NetworkTables and adding
a robot API to create the mechanism elements, instead of requiring a JSON file.
