3075 Progress Update

[Omri-Amitay]

So far, we’ve tested the SystemCore on our 2023 robot. We successfully ran tests on various sensors, including limit switches, potentiometers, Spark MAX, TalonFX, beam breaks, pneumatics, and an I2C color sensor (though on the new OS version, I2C is currently blocked, so it’s not working yet).

We operated the robot for many hours during a robotics festival, and everything ran smoothly. The only real issue we’ve encountered so far was with the LiDAR, since WPILib hasn’t yet added Counter support, which is necessary for it to function properly.

During IOS, we brought the SystemCore to showcase it, and on our first qualification match, we accidentally connected to the SystemCore instead of the Off-Season robot — and we’re pretty sure the SystemCore was actually enabled instead of our robot 😅.

Looking ahead, we plan to continue testing LiDAR (once it’s supported by WPILib), Limelight cameras, and other components.
