Printing to brain in ez

Programming Support
#1

I have read all the docs on ez template in pros and all it says it how you print to controller, but i am wondering how you print to the brain in ez

#2

I am also unfamiliar with brain-printing methods in EZ-Template.

That being said, there are methods built into PROS and VEX Code Pro that allow you to print to the brain screen.

A guide to brain prints in PROS can be found at
https://pros.cs.purdue.edu/v5/tutorials/topical/llemu.html

And one for VEX Code Pro at
https://api.vexcode.cloud/v5/class/classvex_1_1brain_1_1lcd

Easy Template is synonymous with PROS itself. You can use the documentation here → PROS: Documentation Home — PROS for V5 3.8.0 documentation

Inside of this documentation you can find the API for C++ here → Simplified Brain Screen C++ API — PROS for V5 3.8.0 documentation

Specifically inside of this API, you can find the command :
void print(pros::text_format_e_t txt_fmt, const std::int16_t line, const char* text, Params... args);

or for example:

    int i = 0;

    pros::screen::set_pen(COLOR_BLUE);
    while(1){
       // Will print seconds started since program started on line 3
       pros::screen::print(pros::TEXT_MEDIUM, 3, "Seconds Passed: %3d", i++);
       pros::delay(1000);
    }
}

Credit to PROS for the example.

Best of luck
