Deploying code to the RoboRIO

1. Ensure the robot is turned on, etc

2. Connect to the robot's radio; it will be named 4183_ROBOTNAME where ROBOTNAME is, obviously, the robot's name. For example: 4183_Junior

3. The password will be 41834183

   note

   This isn't intended for the wifi to be secure against hackers, but rather to prevent people from accidentally auto-connecting to it.

4. Open the project folder in VS Code

5. In the bottom left of the window, right click on build.gradle and press Deploy Robot Code

   Note: your window may look a bit different than mine (colors, etc) since I have a custom theme enabled

K E Y B O A R D - S H O R T C U T S

Alternatively, press Shift + F5 on your keyboard

6. If the build fails, it means either:
   • you're not connected to the robot wifi
   • your code doesn't compile Once you fix the issue, re-deploy. It should succeed.

Once it's deployed, then either open up "FRC Driver Station" or use the driver station laptop to test it.

There you go! Deploying code to the robot is a simple process, but one you will inevitably do multiple times
