Using Controller’s Screen to show something

[theol0403]

Drawing to the screen is very useful. I used it last year:

I also have a display on the controller that gives me some useful information:

It tells me which distance and which flag is selected, whether the flywheel is at target velocity, the time left in the match, the robot’s battery, and the controller ID. This display was useful for driving at competitions. A copy of this screen is also on the master controller.

If you are using PROS, here is the documentation for setting text to a screen:

* With PROS, you have to delay between each command by 50ms. If you don’t, the commands you send will not be forwarded to the controller, which only updates every 50ms.

I believe VEXCode automatically inserts those delays in the controller commands for you.
