Installing Libraries

Java/C++

VS Code

To add a vendor library that has been installed by an offline installer, press Ctrl+Shift+P and type WPILib or click on the WPILib icon in the top right to open the WPILib Command Palette and begin typing Manage Vendor Libraries, then select it from the menu. Select the option to Install new libraries (offline).

Select the desired libraries to add to the project by checking the box next to each, then click OK. The JSON file will be copied to the vendordeps folder in the project, adding the library as a dependency to the project.

In order to install a vendor library in online mode, press Ctrl+Shift+P and type WPILib or click on the WPILib icon in the top right to open the WPILib Command Palette and begin typing Manage Vendor Libraries and select it in the menu, and then click on Install new libraries (online) instead and copy + paste the vendor JSON URL.

Checking for Updates (Offline)

Since dependencies are version managed on a per-project basis, even when installed offline, you will need to Manage Vendor Libraries and select Check for updates (offline) for each project you wish to update.

Checking for Updates (Online)

Part of the JSON file that vendors may optionally populate is an online update location. If a library has an appropriate location specified, running Check for updates (online) will check if a newer version of the library is available from the remote location.

Overview

This documentation explains how to use the MitoCANdria Java API to control and monitor your MitoCANdria device. The example demonstrates basic channel operations including reading current/voltage, enabling/disabling channels, and setting voltage levels.

Basic Setup

The MitoCANdria class implements AutoCloseable, allowing use of try-with-resources for automatic resource cleanup. The constructor parameter (1) represents the device ID.

Available Channels

The API provides several predefined channels:

• MITOCANDRIA_CHANNEL_USB1: USB Port 1

• MITOCANDRIA_CHANNEL_USB2: USB Port 2

• MITOCANDRIA_CHANNEL_5VA: 5V Rail A

• MITOCANDRIA_CHANNEL_5VB: 5V Rail B

• MITOCANDRIA_CHANNEL_ADJ: Adjustable Voltage Channel

API Operations

1. Reading Current

• Uses getChannelCurrent() to read current draw from a channel

• Returns an Optional containing the current in amperes

• Uses ifPresentOrElse() for handling both successful and failed readings

2. Reading Voltage

• Uses getChannelVoltage() to read voltage from a channel

• Returns an Optional containing the voltage in volts

• Uses ifPresentOrElse() for error handling

3. Enabling/Disabling Channels

• Uses setChannelEnabled() to control channel state

• Parameters: channel constant, boolean enable state (true = enabled)

4. Setting Voltage

• Uses setChannelVoltage() to set voltage on adjustable channels

• Only works with MITOCANDRIA_CHANNEL_ADJ

• Second parameter is desired voltage in volts

5. Reading Voltage Setpoint

• Uses getChannelVoltageSetpoint() to read the configured voltage

• Useful for verifying voltage settings on adjustable channels

6. Checking Channel State

• Uses getChannelEnabled() to check if a channel is active

• Returns 1 for enabled, 0 for disabled

Error Handling

The example uses a try-catch block to handle potential exceptions:
