Hi! I want to use either the library Eigen or Armadillo to do some matrix math (for odometry). I’m pretty inexperienced with CPP (moving from java). How can I add this library so I can use it for my robot?

I don’t do much with Vex C++. But from my understanding you can’t use external libs with it. but if your a mildly experienced programmer Pros work with external libs. Conductor User Guide — PROS for V5 3.8.0 documentation look at the install function.

You can use external libraries in VEXCode. You just need to copy over the headers (Eigen is header-only) to your project and include it in. Yes, if you are experienced enough to use Eigen you might want to look into using PROS, it is slightly more open. However, @lerker100 the PROS conductor has n…

OK I haven’t used VexCode because I completely switched from VCS to Pros around Christmas last season. As I understand it by reading the Pros Docs the conductor can import external libs into a Pros project. However it isn’t clear on how to do it the install function says that it can “Install a libr…

No, what the conductor does is manage PROS packages. A PROS package is a zip that contains files such as header and source files. When you apply a package, it imports those files into your project, and keeps track of them. The entire PROS API/kernel is in such a package, as well as okapilib. The …

You are correct, a PROS user can use Eigen by copy its headers into the include directory of a project. I used Eigen in this manner with the code on team BLRS’ 15" robot last season ( GitHub - purduesigbots/forkner-public: PROS 3 Code for the Team BLRS 15" Robot using the 2018-19 VEX U Turning Point …
