2019frcFieldSim

Field visualization and real-time robot position tracking for FRC Deep Space

Installation

You'll need pynetworktables2js to use this.

0. Install Python.
1. Install the above package for Python. (pip install pynetworktables2js or the same with python -m pip should probably work)
2. Download all these files and extract them (i/a) to some directory.
3. In a terminal (e.g., Command Prompt), navigate to the directory containing this project and start the server using serve.cmd.

To just serve files without a robot, run serve.

To connect the server to your robot, run (for example) serve --robot 10.13.23.2 where the IP address is that of your roboRIO. You can edit the file to reflect your robot's address.

Non-Windows users, make an equivalent script or run the command yourself. Good luck.

Ooooor just edit the file with Notepad or something to show your robot's IP address and double-click to run. Whatever floats your boat.

5. Open localhost:8888 or equivalent in your web browser of choice. (My testing is done in Chrome, and I will never test or support another browser [unless I am convinced that I should]. Stray from the light at your own risk.)

Good luck!
