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.
User code:
- OpModeRobot used as the robot base class
- LinearOpMode and PeriodicOpMode are provided opmode base classes
- In Java, annotations can be used to automatically register opmode classes
Additional user code functionality:
- OpMode (string) is available in addition to the overall
auto/teleop/test robot mode
- OpMode does not indicate enable (enable/disable is still separate)
- The HAL API uses integer UIDs; these are exposed at the user API level
as well for faster checks
- User code creates opmodes on startup (these have name, category,
description, etc).
DS:
- DS will present opmode selection lists for auto and teleop for
match/practice. During a match, the DS will automatically activate the
selected opmode in the corresponding match period.
- For testing, an overall mode is selected (e.g. teleop/auto/test) and a
single opmode is selected
Future work:
- Command framework support/integration
- Python annotation support
- Unit tests (needs race-free DS sim updates)
- Porting of examples

libprotobuf is a very annoying dependency to deal with, and with the switch to nanopb for generated C++ code, libprotobuf is only used for dynamic decode in the GUI apps. libprotobuf has been swapped out with upb, a much smaller C-based library that supports reflection and can therefore do dynamic decode. This means we can remove the libprotobuf dependency and stop dealing with build issues because of it.
We now use a wrapper (wpi::print) to catch exceptions since we can't patch
std::print() to not throw when we ultimately migrate to it.
fmtlib and std format/print throw the same exceptions and always have. We previously patched fmt::print() to not throw a write failure exception, but we can't do that for std::print(); wpi::print() is the migration plan.
The default state for the DS in the simulated HAL is changed to disconnected.
The FMS view is now only editable in DS disconnected state.
This enables more robot and field-like testing of robot code, as the
alliance color and other parameters start in invalid states and are
only set when the DS connects.
This adds support for two serialization formats for complex data types:
- Protobuf for complex objects with variable length internals that need forward and backward wire compatibility (lower speed, more flexible)
- Raw struct (ByteBuffer-style) for fixed-length objects (higher speed, less flexible)
Deserialization can be done either by creating a new object (for immutable objects) or overwriting the contents of an existing object (for mutable objects).
Implementing classes should provide inner classes that implement the Protobuf or Struct interface (in Java) or specialize the wpi::Protobuf or wpi::Struct struct (in C++). It is possible for classes to implement both. If the class itself does not implement serialization, it's possible for third parties/users to provide an implementation instead.
Uses the Google protobuf implementation for C++ and the QuickBuffers alternative protobuf implementation for Java.
fmtlib uses consteval format string processing, which makes it more
efficient than std::snprintf().
snprintf()s in libuv, mpack, processstarter, and wpigui were left alone.
processstarter uses stdlib only, and wpigui only depends on imgui.
fmt::format_to_n() is analogous to std::format_to_n()
(https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/format/format_to_n)
wpi::format_to_n_c_str() is a wrapper which adds the trailing NUL.
This does the same thing as right clicking, but provides a visual indicator.
The icon disappears if the window is too small or docked (right click keeps working).
