VEX V5

About

From 2021-2024, I started competed in the VEX robotics competition. Being an embedded C/C++ project, I learned lots about cross compilation and build systems. On the robotics side, I learned some basic control theory to make the robot run as smooth as possible.

To improve IDE integration and remove platform-specific build code, I translated the program’s makefile into a CMake project.

Features

• Runtime sensor diagnostic information and debug tools on the screen (LVGL)
  • Runtime PID tuning
  • Real-time graphing of sensor information
  • Select autonomous run via the screen
• Uses a CMake project instead of Makefiles (compared to a typical PROS project)
  • Improved IDE support (can generate a Visual Studio project)
  • Run clang-tidy or clang-format over the project’s sources
  • Simplified dependency management
  • Better support across operating systems
  • Simplified build process
