# XRP/Romi Setup

Open up xrp box, follow assembly instructions on website on box

* Follow assembly, then test robot sensors and drivetrain using included website, experiment with block and python programming (though we'll be using Java in FRC)
* Follow "getting started with xrp" instructions at docs.wpilib.org and flash your image
* Connect to your xrp wifi with password "xrp-wpilib" and test website <http://192.168.42.1:5000>
* Download and install latest wpilib release from wpilib GitHub (2024.3.2 at writing)
* During wpilib install, install vs code
* Create new robo rio advanced command template project in java (this is the one you'll be working in)
* Create xrp reference (this is your cheat sheet)
* (optional) Setup driver station enable = true
* Do a hello world using system.out.println("hello world"); (explain when it will show during boot)
* Instantiation of command controller as well as the underlying hid.
* If button pressed print line if statement
* Register button press for the command structure
* Print from each button type (trigger, button, bumper pov hat)
* Boot up Xrpgyro and building accelerometer
* Instantiate onboardIO
* Create a xrpmotor object(hard way or copy)
* Move xrpmotor forward and backwards.
* Boot up both spark motors and get their encoders. (channels in cheat project or documentation online)
* Move both motors same direction
* get joysticks axis output
* move robot with joystick outputs
* setup hello world command (explain the parts of a command and when your hello world will print)
* Setup default command for drivetrain (at this point may just be two motors)
* Create drivetrain file if advanced, if in robot container teach refactor
* create differential drive and assign the two motors
