WestCore-GUI

A modular C# GUI designed to debug several variables of a VEX robot, ranging from variable charts to odometry visualizations.

Notice

Because this project was built with WPF, it is only Windows compatible. The Grafana versions of this project are fully cross-platform and will likely replace this repository as soon as it becomes stable.

Info relating to the Grafana development can be found in the pros-cli grafana-migration branch.

Installation from Releases

To install the C# GUI, navigate to the Releases panel of the repository. From there, download the latest MSI installer and run it. The installer will create a new folder containing the executable in your Programs Filex (x86) labelled GUI_WPF_Migration-Installer. Once you're done, follow the steps on the pros-cli fork, as well as the example usage of the GUI in the pros-gui-template repository.

Installation Manually

If you want to either use this project for development or wish to build it from source, you must have the following prerequisites:

• Visual Studio with .NET desktop development installed, as well as the individual component Windows Universal CRT SDK
• .NET Framework v4.7.2

Setting up

To build the project from source, first follow the steps below:

1. Clone the repository
2. Open the project through the GUI-WPF-Migration.sln file
3. Ensure the GUI-WPF-Migration assembly is currently selected in the Solution Explorer, designated by a bolded name as seen below. If another assembly happens to be selected, change it to GUI-WPF-Migration by right clicking it in the Solution Explorer and selecting Set as Startup Project.

Building

From now on, to build the project you can simply right click the GUI-WPF-Migration-Installer in the Solution Explorer and hit Build. This should create a new MSI installer for the project in your {PROJECT_DIRECTORY}/ folder. Installing the msi while a version is already installed will overwrite the previously installed executable.

Uninstalling

If at any point you want to uninstall the GUI, simply navigate to your Apps & features settings and uninstall GUI_WPF_MIGRATION. All folders used for WestCore-GUI will then be completely removed from your system.
