If you have a robot project already, skip to step 5 and be sure to put your robot code into a Java Project
NOT Robot Project.
Process:
1. Open Eclipse and make sure that your version of Java is higher than SE 1.6.
Creating new robot:
2. Go to File -> New -> Java Project
3. Right click on the SRC folder and go to New -> Class (this will be your main robot class, you can
import or drag and drop if you wish OR you can use our sample robot code)
4. Now that you have the robot class you must add a specific line to Simulate the robot.
public static void main(String[] args){
EmulatorControl.start(TEAMNUMBER, Robot.class);
}
Adding the libraries (new project or current one):
5. Right click your project name and click Properties
6. Navigate to Java build path (1) and then to Libraries (2) and finally select Add External JARs…

AND FPGA.lib files which are contained within (InstallationPath)/SynthesisDrive/dll.

10. Now right click on the project and select Run -> Java Application
11. Now plug in joysticks and either run your java application or run the application with Driver
Synthesis using the Driver Synthesis tutorial!
Note:
Please do not use anything with a port number of 0:
Ex:
Joystick doesntwork = new Joystick(0);
Joystick works = new Joystick(1);
Please for now refrain from using any CAN controller, you can change these settings while using the
robot compiler:
Ex:
CANTalon doesntwork = new CANTalon(0);
Talon work = new Talon(0);
