Prepping for FRC Build Season...What libraries should I use for Studica/VMX-pi?

[Charlie Peppler]

It's time to blow the dust off the Studica robot to help students

prepare for the 2022 build season.

This seems to be the latest documentation.

https://docs.wpilib.org/en/latest/docs/yearly-overview/yearly-changelog.html

Knowing that libraries and vendordeps are not always in sync with the latest

coming from WPI/First, I wanted to check in to see what Scott and team would

recommend as a good baseline to bring things to (wpilib, vendor deps

and firmware version for Spark Max, VSCode, HAL for VMX-pi, etc).

Any guidance would be much appreciated about what to aim for for the 

VMX-pi.

Thanks in advance, and happy building for the new FRC Season!

VMX-pi should continue to use the same 2020 version of WPI library as before, there has been no change.  So use the documentation as is, and the versions of everything to use are indicated there, as well.

Don't have a firm date yet for 2022 support, but for sure it won't be until after the official season starts.  There are significant changes going on to WPI library, Rev/CTRE devices and RoboRIo, including significant changes at the WPI HAL layer too.  We'll get there when we get there.

Should I stick with 2020, or can I use 2021?  They did release a wpilib last year.

Glad to use either one, just want to know which will be least likely to have compatibility problems.

Thanks in advance,

Scott,

Just wanted to check in.  I've seen new versions of the HAL coming across on updates...
Should the VMX-pi still be using the WPI 2020 version, or has there been an update to 2022?

No hurry, just wanted to know which version to use for training on the Studica.

Thanks in advance for any info,

Charlie
