Contains some physics related and CANTalon bugfixes. Speaking of which, pyfrc has physics support again, which means you can run your robot on a simulated field again! It’s pretty useful for testing out autonomous modes and some other limited behaviors. Check out the pyfrc documentation for more details!
As before, there are samples distributed with pyfrc that show you how you can take advantage of this really cool functionality that puts python a step above the rest for FRC programming!
This is a bugfix release of RobotPy, but teams are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
When HAL functions that use a status return a warning, warnings.warn is called instead of throwing an exception. This problem has been most observed when using the PDP, but in theory it could happen in other locations (see https://github.com/robotpy/robotpy-wpilib/issues/143)
This is a critical bugfix release of RobotPy, and all RobotPy users are recommended to upgrade. We sincerely apologize for releasing this after build season has ended.
There was a race condition that could cause the DriverStation thread to crash at startup, and the robot would not respond to driver input, with no notification to the user that this had occurred (other than netconsole output)
SampleRobot programs now only report readiness to the Driver Station after robotInit has finished
See all changes on github. You can download the latest release from github, or use the installer to upgrade your current installation of RobotPy.
I spent a week looking really closely at pynetworktables, and as a result pynetworktables 2015.1.0 has been released, which fixes a number of critical bugs which may cause your robot to freeze/deadlock or have poor performance on poorly performing networks. See https://github.com/robotpy/pynetworktables/pull/11 for more information.
RobotPy has been updated to 2015.0.8, and is a recommended update for all RobotPy users.
Update pynetworktables dependency
Minor simulator related clarified error messages
