    • Replaced AdiDevice::port_number with AdiDevice::port_numbers. (#271) (Breaking Change)

    Removed

    • Replaced vexide_core::allocator::init_heap with vexide_core::allocator::claim, which allows claiming uninitialized memory spans as heap space.
    • The Nul, InvalidLine, and InvalidColumn ControllerError variants have been removed. These errors now cause panics. (#266) (Breaking Change)

  • Hydrozoa 0.1.0-alpha.2 - 11/27/2024

    This is an alpha release of Hydrozoa, a new open source Java/Kotlin runtime for VEX V5, which adds API-level documentation and improves the APIs for motors, peripherals, and display widgets.

    The Maven Central listing can be found here: https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/dev.vexide/hydrozoa/0.1.0-alpha.2 API docs can be found here: https://javadoc.io/doc/dev.vexide/hydrozoa/0.1.0-alpha.2 Source code for the Java SDK can be found here: https://github.com/vexide/Hydrozoa-Java A changelog can be found here: https://github.com/vexide/Hydrozoa-Java/releases/tag/v0.1.0-alpha.2 A template for new projects can be found here: https://github.com/vexide/Hydrozoa-Java-Template

  • Symbolizer for VEX V5 0.1.0 - 11/27/2024

    Symbolizer for VEX V5 is out! It’s a new extension for Visual Studio Code which makes it easier to debug crashes on VEX V5 robots by finding the lines of code on which the crash happened. It’s really useful for stepping through vexide (or PROS) backtraces or quickly revealing the location of an abort!

    VEX Forum post: https://www.vexforum.com/t/debug-robot-code-crashes-with-symbolizer-for-vex-v5/132038?u=lewis Visual Studio Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vexide.symbolizer-for-vex-v5

  • evian 0.3.0-beta.2 - 11/24/2024

    This is a beta release of evian with preliminary support for vexide 0.5.0. It also further reorganizes modules compared to beta.1.

    This release includes a few new key features:

    • 2D distance-parameterized trapezoidal trajectory generation for Differential-configuration drivetrains.
    • Ramsete unicycle controller command (trajectory follower) for Differential-configuration drivetrains.
    • Rough implementation of a boomerang controller in the Seeking motions struct (completely untested and unoptimized).
    • Cubic bezier splines in evian::math.
    • 1D distance-parameterized trapezoidal motion profiling for general-purpose use in evian::math.

    API docs for this release (still largely incomplete): https://docs.rs/evian/0.3.0-beta.2/evian/index.html An example of evian’s trajectory following capabilities can be seen here: https://github.com/vexide/evian/blob/master/examples/trajectory.rs

    Please keep in mind that these APIs are unstable not thoroughly tested, so competition use of evian is not recommended at this point in time (unless you are working with your own motion algorithms and localization on top of it).

  • evian 0.3.0-beta.1 - 11/19/2024

    This is a beta release of evian, with a rewritten architecture. You can view an example of it in use here: https://github.com/vexide/evian/blob/master/examples/testing.rs

    This version depends on the latest vexide release candidate, so you will also have to use that to test it. At this point in time, the general architecture (how things are structured and passed around) is nearly finalized, but the implementations of things (specifically the stuff in tracking and the commands) are not hardware tested and incomplete (some may even panic with todo!). It’s highly discouraged from using those for competition purposes in this release.

  • cargo-v5 0.8.2 - 11/3/2024

    Added

    • You can now create new vexide projects with the cargo v5 new and cargo v5 init commands.
    • Added support for user input in cargo v5 terminal.
    • Added the ability to use cargo-v5 as a field controller through the cargo v5 fc command. This can only be used if installed with the optional field-control feature.

October 2024

  • vexide 0.4.2 - 10/15/2024

    Fixed

    • Fixed an issue related to the calling convention of vex-sdk functions causing docs.rs api reference build failures. (#165)

  • cargo-v5 0.8.1 - 10/13/2024

    Added

    • Uploads will now switch the radio to the download channel when uploading wirelessly.

    Changed

  • vexide 0.4.1 - 10/8/2024

    vexide 0.4.1 is a hotfix for a hard-float related issue with VEXos syscalls.

    Fixed

    • Updated to vex-sdk 0.21.0, fixing ABI incompatibilities between the VEXos calling convention and the hard-float ABI introduced in vexide 0.4.0. This should fix broken functions that pass floats to the SDK. (#156)

  • cargo-v5 0.8.0 - 10/5/2024

    Added

    • cargo v5 run provides a cargo runner capable of building and uploading a program, running the program, and opening the terminal in one command.
