Default Constraints

These values will be used as the default global constraints when creating new paths. Updating these values will also update the constraints of any paths set to use the defaults.

The default constraints do not support being unlimited, as a conscious decision should be made per-path to have unlimited constraints. Running a path as fast as possible is not only dangerous, but can lead to the path following controller falling behind.

Max Velocity

Max linear velocity in meters per second.

Max Acceleration

Max linear acceleration in meters per second squared.

Max Angular Velocity

Max rotational velocity in degrees per second.

Max Angular Accel

Max rotational acceleration in degrees per second squared.

Nominal Voltage

Nominal voltage in Volts. This is what you expect the voltage to be during auto, which may be lower than 12V due to other systems running, such as an intake or shooter.

Field Image

Select the field image used as the background of the editor. This contains options for official field images and the ability to import custom images.

Theme Color

Change the UI theme color.

PPLib Telemetry

roboRIO IP

The IP address of the roboRIO, this should be 10.TE.AM.2 where TEAM is replaced by your team number, i.e. 10.30.15.2.

Additional Options

Holonomic Mode

Enable or disable holonomic mode.

Hot Reload

Enable or disable hot reload for paths and autos. This is off by default. When connected to the robot, hot reload will automatically sync changes to paths and autos in the GUI to the paths and autos loaded in robot code. This allows you to quickly iterate and test changes without needing to redeploy or restart robot code. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE disable this at competition, so you don't accidentally change a path on the robot that you do not wish to.
