🚀 KSP-WPILIB Training System

Note: The wrapper is not fully complete and is still in testing!

A training platform that combines Kerbal Space Program (KSP) with WPILib to create an accessible environment for learning FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) programming concepts. This project provides a wrapper for kRPC that allows programmers to control KSP rockets using familiar WPILib command-based programming patterns.

Overview

This training system bridges the gap between learning robotics programming and practical implementation by:

• Providing a safe, virtual environment for testing control systems
• Using familiar FRC programming patterns and tools
• Offering real-time feedback through KSP's visual interface
• Enabling experimentation with PID control and command-based programming

Prerequisites

• WPILib 2024.3.2 or newer (2025 beta coming soon)
• Java 17 or newer
• Kerbal Space Program
• kRPC mod for KSP
• FIRST Robotics Competition VSCode extension

Getting Started

1. Install Kerbal Space Program and the kRPC mod
2. Clone this repository
3. Start kRPC server and create a RocketSubsystem class
4. Spawn a vessel in KSP then start the WPILIB Simulator
