When user downloads Blocks-generated op mode, only the. When user uploads Blocks-generated op mode. Added DbgLog support. Bug in versions 4. If the parent module had a higher address value than the daisy-chained module, then this bug would prevent the Robot Controller from communicating with the downstream Expansion Hub. Added google repo to build. Internet connectivity is required for the first build so the appropriate files can be downloaded from the Google repository.

Users should not need to be connected to the Internet for subsequent builds. This should also fix buid issue where Android Studio would complain that it "Could not find com. Provide examples for playing audio files in an Op Mode.

Tested with Moto G5 and E4 phones. Also tested with other currently non-approved phones such as Samsung Galaxy S8. Improved Expansion Hub firmware update support in Robot Controller app Changes to make the system more robust during the firmware update process when performed through Robot Controller app.

User no longer has to disconnect a downstream daisy-chained Expansion Hub when updating an Expansion Hub's firmware. The user cannot update the Expansion Hub firmware for a downstream device that is daisy chained through an RS connection. Robot Controller app should be able to detect an Expansion Hub, even if it accidentally was bricked in a previous update attempt. Robot Controller app should be able to install the firmware onto the Hub, even if if accidentally was bricked in a previous update attempt.

This action helps system recover from some ESD-induced disruptions. Various fixes to improve reliability of FTC software. Blocks Fixed errors with string and list indices in blocks export to java.

Modest Improvements in Logging Decrease frequency of battery checker voltage statements. Removed non-FTC related log statements wherever possible.

Introduced a "Match Logging" feature. If enabled, user provides a "Match Number" through the Driver Station user interface top of the screen. The Match Number is used to create a log file specifically with log statements from that particular Op Mode run. Once an op mode run is complete, the Match Number is cleared. This is a convenient way to create a separate match log with statements only related to a specific op mode run.

Miscellaneous Fixed some errors in the definitions for acceleration and velocity in our javadoc documentation. Added ability to play audio files on Driver Station When user is configuring an Expansion Hub, the LED on the Expansion Hub will change blink pattern purple-cyan to indicate which Hub is currently being configured.

Wireless When user selects a wireless channel, this channel does not necessarily persist if the phone is power cycled. Tech Team is hoping to eventually address this issue in a future release.

Issue has been present since apps were introduced i. Wireless channel is not currently displayed for Wi-Fi Direct connections. Miscellaneous The blink indication feature that shows which Expansion Hub is currently being configured does not work for a newly created configuration file. User has to first save a newly created configuration file and then close and re-edit the file in order for blink indicator to work. Version 3. Improvement in Blocks tool to handle corrupt op mode files.

To avoid losing WiFi internet access on the PC while programming or debugging the robot, see the following additional sections:. The ADB protocol can be used over a network , so long as it is enabled on the device, via USB, after each time the device has been rebooted.

This is where things get somewhat interesting, and specific to FTC robots. And normally are disconnected from all other WiFi networks. This establishes a private WiFi network between the two devices — so, normally, the two devices are not on the same wireless network as the PC where Android Studio is running.

There are two solutions to this, but both involve getting the PC onto the same network with the Android devices. If an attempt is made to join the network from a PC, though, a password is needed to do so.

However, this poses a different problem: Now the PC is no longer on the Internet. A PC is actually quite happy to coexist simultaneously on multiple WiFi or other networks, so long as each network has a different IP address scheme. In order to join the second network, the PC will need an additional WiFi adapter, but fortunately these are quite cheap and very small today: see Appendix: USB WiFi Models for several available models.

Once connected in this way, the PC should be remain connected to the main WiFi network, and should still have Internet access through that network, while also being able to communicate with the Android device over WiFi Direct. However this is not entirely necessary, either. It can be made to be extremely easy to use in Android Studio! These tools can do just about anything, but they can easily be used to run adb commands so that using the command line is no longer required.

It will prompt for the IP address to connect to. Once the above External Tools are added, connecting to an FTC robot wirelessly to program it and debug it is trivial after having used USB to program the device at least once 4. Since the device can now remain connected via ADB while the robot is running… that also means that Android Monitor is usable while the robot is running.

If the Android logging API android. The author has purchased the below WiFi adapters and tested some of them in the course of writing this document. Reports of good or bad results with additional USB WiFi adapters is welcome either in the comments below or by email.

These adapters are small enough not to protrude annoyingly from a laptop computer, and should allow use of a laptop sleeve or case without removal of the device. Have had many signal reception issues on MacBook Pro, possibly caused by antenna not protruding far enough from metal casing.
