pyfrc - RobotPy development library helper

pyfrc is a python 3 library designed to make developing code for RobotPy (the Python interpreter for the FIRST Robotics Competition) easier.

This library contains a few primary parts:

• A built-in uploader that will upload your robot code to the robot

• An implementation of wpilib that allows you to run robot code on your computer without a cRio

  This is a library designed to emulate parts of WPILib so you can more easily do unit testing of your robot code on any platform that supports python3, without having to have a cRio around for testing.

  NOTE: This is not a complete implementation of WPILib. Add more things as needed, and submit patches! :)

• Integration with the py.test testing tool to allow you to easily write unit tests for your robot code.

• A robot simulator tool which allows you to run your code in (vaguely) real time and get simple feedback via a tk-based UI

Documentation

Quick Install + Demo

If you have python3 and pip installed, then do:

pip3 install pyfrc

Once this is done, you can run a quick demo by running:

cd samples/physics/src/
python3 robot.py sim
