An attempt at creating a Python to RobotC compiler
pyRobotC.py [file]
Uses a basic understanding of PEP 484 type annotations to assist in conversion to RobotC, which has static typing. The basic syntax is as follows:
def add(number1: int, number2: int) -> int:
return number1 + number2
This also includes pseudo-modules that either allow easier access to C functions from a pythonic interface, or allow non-pythonic functions to be used. They are the vex and cfuncs modules.
This allows #pragma statements to be used with PyRobotC. With a single argument, it simple generates the following code:
pragma(systemFile) -> #pragma systemFile
With multiple arguments, it uses the first one as the "name" for the function, and the rest as arguments, such as the following example:
vex.pragma(config, I2C_Usage, I2C1, i2cSensors) -> #pragma config(I2C_Usage, I2C1, i2cSensors)
This functions sets the specified motor on port to the specified speed (from 127 to -127).
Slave motors to a master, that way all commands sent to the master will be sent to the slaves.
Set whether or not a motor's direction is reversed by 180 degrees. Useful when a mechanical design results in a logical "reversed" condition of a motor
