Q: What exactly is this library useful for?

A: Quite a lot of things, actually. It is useful for anything from retrofitting an outreach robot with an Arduino (to avoid having to mess with flakey ZTE Speeds and MR controllers) to building an Arduino-powered hardware testing box.

Q: Can I directly use a Java OpMode with this library?

A: No. Any OpModes you wish to use must be ported to C++ and adapted to the different hardware mapping style.

Q: What is the maximum number of HiTechnic controllers I can use with this library?

A: Up to 4

Q: How can I send the Arduino gamepad data so I can drive my robot in TeleOp?

A: Currently, that's up to you! Here are a few options:

  • Equip your Arduino with a Bluetooth module and buy a Bluetooth gamepad
  • Equip your Arduino with a WiFi module and send gamepad data to it over WiFi from a computer or an Android app
  • Buy two XBees and build your own Arduino-powered driver station
  • Port the library to Raspberry Pi and use a wireless gamepad with a USB receiver dongle
