This project consists of my Vex Code that I created throughout High School. During my 8th grade year, I started to learn basic functions and programming concepts, and very gradually grew on to more advanced topics, and grew my passion for CS. Some of my prouder accomplishments were: utilizing cyclic lists in an LCD Menu; using PID loops to control motors to more accurately control the position of a robot, and using structs to implement several factors, including an acceleration factor that limited how fast the motors could speed up; and using trapezoidal integration approximation to more accuratedly determine the heading of a gyro sensor. Trying to create a system that wrote down the state of the joystick to play back the systems autonomously was a cool idea, but was ultimately unsuccessful (RecorderLib).
Furthermore, I apologize, I did homebrew version control on this software - as in I have about 50 folders with different versions of my code. The most up to date code is available here. Beyond that, this code references BNS's HC-05 Bluetooth library, through which I learned about UART communication. This library is availible on their github, and is not in my code, but is referenced by my code several times - however, it should run fine without it, as I used preprocessors to ensure my code could run with and without certain resources, such as that library, due to memory constraints on the cortex system.
To run this code, you will need the RobotC IDE, as I believe it is the only possible way to compile RobotC code. The RobotC IDE can be downloaded at (http://www.robotc.net/download/vexrobotics/). You will also need a Vex Cortex to run the code on, however, ou can run the code on a virtual system, and should be put on a Robot with Vex motors and sensors. Furthermore, this code is tuned to the robot of team 1200C from the year 2016-2017, and should not be directly compiled onto your robot.
