Framework Overview

Toronto Robot Framework

The Toronto Robot Framework includes the TorontoJar project and the TorontoRobot project.

The Toronto Robot extends the wpilib Command Based robot example class to support a robot with Left/Right (west coast) drive, with encoders on each side, and a gyro.

The Toronto Jar adds example code to read from a Joystick or GameController and creates a more helpful Gyro interface.

The example code uses Proportional Feedback Control (PID - P only) to control the speed of the robot motors precisely using encoder feedback for each drive motor.

Gyro feedback examples show how to control the robot direction using a gyro for accurate autonomous tracking.

Various commands are illustrated as building blocks for a complete autonomous including:

• Driving to a specific encoder distance
• Driving until a sensed value is reached (ultrasonic distance or proximity sensor)
• Turn to face an angle using the gyro
• Drive in a specific compass heading using the gyro

The frameworks have built in routines to organize the code that updates the SmartDashboard
