With the change from GetInstance to static functions, many functions
don't call DriverStation::GetInstance(), so the DS thread wasn't
getting started by default. Call InDisabled() to make sure this
happens.
In some cases, knowing roborio 2 might be useful. This also creates a higher level enum that might be usable later for the discussion on more complex runtime types.
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.
- Twine, StringRef, Format, and NativeFormatting have been removed
- Logging now uses fmtlib style formatting
- Nearly all uses of wpi::outs/errs have been replaced with fmt::print() or
std::puts()/std::fputs() (for unformatted strings).
- A wpi/fmt/raw_ostream.h header has been added to enable
fmt::print() with wpi::raw_ostream
This reverts commit a79faace1b.
This change will be superseded in a non-breaking way by changing to static functions and deprecating GetInstance() entirely.
Improves consistency across all classes.
Affects Preferences, LiveWindow, and CameraServer.
Old commands Scheduler::GetInstance() was not updated as this is already
deprecated.
This makes code easier to read and more consistent between C++ and Java.
Also update clang-format settings to always add a line break (even if no braces are used).
This avoids users having to call both IsOperatorControl() and IsEnabled() to figure out if their robot is
enabled and in the teleop state. The expression above involves calling two methods that each have their
own lock.
These new methods should only involve locking one mutex, since only one call is made to HAL_GetControlWord().
The wpimath library is a new library designed to separate the reusable math functionality
from the common utility library (wpiutil) and the hardware-dependent library (wpilibc/j).
Package names / include file names were NOT changed to minimize breakage. In a future year
it would be good to revamp these for a more uniform user experience and to reduce the risk
of accidental naming conflicts.
While theoretically all of this functionality could be placed into wpiutil, several pieces
of this library (e.g. DARE) are very time-consuming to compile, so it's nice to avoid this
expense for users who only want cscore or ntcore. It also allows for easy future separation
of build tasks vs number of workers on memory-constrained machines.
This moves the following functionality from wpiutil into wpimath:
- Eigen
- ejml
- Drake
- DARE
- wpiutil.math package (Matrix etc)
- units
And the following functionality from wpilibc/j into wpimath:
- Geometry
- Kinematics
- Spline
- Trajectory
- LinearFilter
- MedianFilter
- Feed-forward controllers
