Sylib
Sylvie’s C++ Library For V5
Features
- Easy WS2812B Addressable LED control
- Accurate motor velocity measurements
- Template for making custom velocity controllers
- Many kinds of pre-built filters for general use
- Platform-agnostic, meaning it works with both PROS and VEXcode
Installation
PROS
1) Download the latest version of the Sylib template from the Releases page
2) In the directory where you downloaded the zip archive, run pros c fetch sylib@<version>.zip
3) In your PROS project directory, run pros c apply sylib@<version>
4) In your main.h
file, make sure to include sylib/sylib.hpp
5) In /include/sylib/env.hpp
make sure that SYLIB_SRC_PRESENT
and SYLIB_ENV_VEXCODE
are not defined, and that
SYLIB_ENV_PROS
is. This makes sure that the right headers are included, and that sylib uses the pre-compiled library
provided by the template instead of trying to build it from the non-existent source (which would not compile in a PROS environment anyways).
6) In your initialize()
function, make sure to include sylib::initialize();
note: Sylib requires PROS kernel 3.7.2
or later to run
VEXcode/VEX Visual Studio Code Extension
1) From the Releases page, download the latest version of the Sylib source code
2) Copy the contents of the include/
directory from the downloaded files into the include/
directory of your project
3) Copy the contents of the src/
directory from the downloaded files into the src/
directory of your project
4) Include sylib/sylib.hpp
anywhere relevant, probably including at the top of your main.cpp
file
5) In /include/sylib/env.hpp
make sure that SYLIB_ENV_PROS
is not defined, and that
SYLIB_ENV_VEXCODE
is. This makes sure that the right headers are included, and that sylib compiles
the source code instead of trying to use the non-existent PROS template.
6) In your pre-auton function, make sure to include sylib::initialize();
