Overview

What does this do?

This library greatly simplifies the implementation of common FTC robotics subsystems and features by abstracting away low-level decisions and providing a simplified, façade pattern API. As such, users will only need to use a few methods (command(), control(), and state()) due to a reliance on sane defaults and the builder design pattern

Who is this for?

The target audience is beginner-level FTC teams and hobbyists, but even advanced users can elect to utilize easy-ftc à la carte (e.g. leverage easy-ftc for peripheral devices so you can focus on more complex features like motion planning)

Features

• Encoders can be used with minimal setup for either time- or distance-based commands
• Arm, Intake, and Lift optionally feature encoder limits on range-of-motion
• ROBOT and FIELD-centric driving are supported for MECANUM
• TANK and ARCADE are supported for DIFFERENTIAL
• Servo-powered mechanisms can optionally leverage smooth-servo control
• Lift and Drive optionally feature gamepad deadzones, mitigating stick/trigger drift

Install

Download release archive

• Each option requires that you download this repo's latest Android archive
• Click on easy-ftc-release.aar at https://github.com/collegiate-edu-nation/easy-ftc/releases

OnBot Java

• Upload the .aar using OnBot Java's GUI
• Press the gear icon on the bottom right with the title 'Build Everything'

Android Studio

• Add the .aar to FtcRobotController/libs/

• Add implementation to TeamCode's build.gradle like so

  dependencies {
      implementation project(':FtcRobotController')
      implementation files('../libs/easy-ftc-release.aar')
  }

Blockly

• While at the previous link, also click on myBlocks.zip
• Upload the .aar and all relevant Java files from myBlocks using OnBot Java's GUI
  • Each Java file in myBlocks/ will control a specific mechanism/sensor
• Modify the myBlocks Java files to change behavior
  • e.g. add .layout(Layout.ARCADE) to Drive.Builder in Drive.java
• Press the gear icon on the bottom right with the title 'Build Everything'
• A new menu option 'Java Classes' should be visible in the Blockly GUI now
• Each class listed there will provide relevant methods from easy-ftc, like control(), command(), and state()
