uvlib is an open-source PROS library that brings the Command-Based Programming paradigm to V5 Robotics in an creative and intuitive way.
- Declarative: You're more than just a programmer; you're a designer and an engineer. Just explain 'the what' and let uvlib worry about 'the how'.
- Command-Based: Rediscover the DRY principle—the oldest, and perhaps most important, programming concept—all over again in PROS. Keep your code clean, organized, and reusable across multiple seasons.
- Extensible: Built to grow with your projects. Easily integrate new features, customize behaviors, and adapt uvlib to your evolving needs.
Important
uvlib is still heavily under development. Expect lots of bugs, drastic changes, and unexpected instability. Please create an issue if you encounter any bugs.
Installing is as simple as 1, 2, and 3:
pros c add-depot uvlib https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SomewhatMay/uvlib/refs/heads/depot/stable.json # adds the remote depot
pros c apply uvlib # installs uvlib into your current project- Start coding!
- Download the latest release from GitHub releases
- Unzip the compressed archive
- Copy and paste the contents of the file into your project directory
If you've already got uvlib and would like to switch to the latest version, simply run:
pros c updateWe're sorry to see you go. If you've encountered an problem, be sure to create an issue. To uninstall, simply run:
pros c uninstall uvlibDocumentation is currently under work. Every class and method is well-documented; see the header files in include/uvlib/.
To see very basic example robot code with a Drivetrain subsystem, commands, and Controller triggers, see the example.cpp.
Much of this project was inspired by WPILib and its Command-Based Programming structure. WPILib is the library trusted by hundreds of FIRST Robotics teams worldwide. Many of the design decisions were made to align with WPILib's implementation. You can learn more about the paradigm here.
