Breaking Changes

• If you are creating custom graphable items, the Measure class is now
  a data class and allows custom descriptions.

Gradle

repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:swerve:19.3.0'
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:telemetry:19.3.0'
}

Breaking Changes

• If you are creating custom graphable items , you will need to rename
  the Item interface to Measurable.

Improvements

• Better checks for missing gyro.

Gradle

repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:swerve:19.2.0'
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:telemetry:19.2.0'
}

Improvements

• Add ability to disable field-oriented driving with swerve.setFieldOriented(false).

Gradle

repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:swerve:19.1.2'
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:telemetry:19.1.2'
}

Fixes

• Fix Wheel.isInverted() reporting.

Gradle

repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:swerve:19.1.1'
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:telemetry:19.1.1'
}

Improvements

• Updated for 2019 season.

Gradle

repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:swerve:18.7.5'
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:telemetry:18.7.5'
}

Improvements

• Add basic vision communication for Deadeye.

Gradle

repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:swerve:18.7.4'
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:telemetry:18.7.4'
}

Improvements

• Updated telemetry Measure enumeration with general types of measurements
  useful for writing custom graphable items.

Gradle

repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:swerve:18.7.3'
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:telemetry:18.7.3'
}

Improvements

• TelemetryService dependency injection has been simplified.

Gradle

repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:swerve:18.7.2'
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:telemetry:18.7.2'
}

Fixed

• SwerveDrive constructor is now public

Gradle

repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:swerve:18.7.1'
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:telemetry:18.7.1'
}

Improvements

• replace nanohttpd with Jetty in telemetry module
• various clean-up and optimizations

This release removes our Talon provisioning library. With the additions made to the CTRE Phoenix libraries during the summer of 2018, especially TalonSRXConfiguration and friends, we no longer need to maintain our separate library for this.

It also removes the requirement for using the Dagger framework to manage dependency injection (DI). While DI is still useful and used by us, we find that manually managing DI provides a better learning experience for students during the season. You can still use your favorite DI framework if desired.

As a result of these changes, from 18.7.0 forward, use these as dependencies in Gradle:

repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:swerve:18.7.0'
    compile 'org.strykeforce.thirdcoast:telemetry:18.7.0'
}

Improvements

• Talon provisioning library removed.
• Dagger dependency removed.

Improvements

• Example projects are now collected in their own repository at https://github.com/strykeforce/thirdcoast-examples
• Telemetry has been split out into separate module so projects can use swerve code without it
• Talon configuration errors can be summarized in log
• Talon configuration can be dumped to logs

Added

• Swerve drive Wheel class now has basic support for a pluggable implementation of drive wheel "driver" to allow different control strategies, for example, open-loop vs gain-scheduled closed-loop.
• Ultrasonic Rangefinder grapher telemetry Item.

Improvements

• Talons are now configured with Quad encoder by default if no other sensor selected.
• Gyro logging can be turned off in config file.
• Config file location is now passed in as a URL to allow embedding in JAR.

Fixed

• Telemetry now reports lower 12 bits of absolute encoder position (pulse width position).

Added

• Implement drive closed-loop gain scaling by subclassing Wheel with a custom implementation.
• Grapher support for PathFinder controller.
• Added methods to SwerveDrive to support azimuth belt slip correction.

Improvements

• Moved the tct command-line utility to its own repo and removed sim development tool.
