    Are you sure? At a minimum Blocks code shows the related Java (not JavaScript) in a side-by-side view, allowing users to upgrade from Blocks to OnBot Java (or Android Studio) fairly easily. See for instance the first image at https://github.com/ftctechnh/ftc_app/wiki/Blocks-Tutorial.

    https://github.com/ftctechnh/ftc_app/wiki/Using-an-External-UVC-Camera-and-a-Powered-USB-Hub just look at this, although the hub doesn't need to be a powered one, a normal one will work fine
  • Trying to use RCWL-1601 Ultrasonic Sensor
    1 project | /r/FTC | 3 Feb 2023
    I coded a simple I2C interface for this sensor, but have not tested it out yet as I haven't received my sensor from Adafruit yet. I'll let you know next week if it works. The code was derived from this helpful tutorial: https://github.com/ftctechnh/ftc_app/wiki/Writing-an-I2C-Driver Note: Adafruit mentions that the I2C implementation is dodgy and it can cause other I2C devices on the bus (looking at the IMU) to crash. I don't know if it matters, but I was going to test it out on its own bus.

    Does it seem to tie to ESD events on the robot? If so check https://github.com/ftctechnh/ftc_app/issues/703

    I found this link, https://github.com/ftctechnh/ftc_app/wiki/Writing-an-I2C-Driver for writing an i2c driver and got my device to work, but the author says his method is deprecated.

    You can maybe use this as an example (https://github.com/ftctechnh/ftc_app/blob/master/FtcRobotController/src/main/java/org/firstinspires/ftc/robotcontroller/external/samples/ConceptI2cAddressChange.java) and documentation from the sensor's website / any i2c drivers for it for other devices like Raspberry Pi or Arduino.

    Apparently, another team was having the same issue but with Tensorflow. Here's the link to that forum: https://github.com/ftctechnh/ftc_app/issues/620 . Once I used the updated software, it worked just fine. Thanks for all the help!

    Give this a look if that doesn't get you on your way let me know where you get stuck and I'll try to give some more info where I can
