pyfrc is a python 3 library designed to make developing python code using WPILib for FIRST Robotics Competition easier.
This library contains a few primary parts:
- A built-in uploader that will upload your robot code to the robot
- 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
For usage, detailed installation information, and other notes, please see our documentation at http://pyfrc.readthedocs.org
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
pyfrc is intended to be a project that all members of the FIRST community can quickly and easily contribute to. If you find a bug, or have an idea that you think others can use:
