How Can Multiple FRC Programmers Work on Same Project?

[Ben Zimmer]

Hello All,

We've been asked this question several times, usually by people with broken VIs, and lost code.

So, I posted some of my thoughts and recommendations, and a video from a session done in Oakville Ontario this past week.

Find the video here:

In this blog entry, I discuss how multiple programmers can work together on the same project:

• Communicate!
  
• Split the tasks: dont all work on the same portion of the code
  
• Take advantage of separate SubVIs and Typedefs
  
• Make sure your files are where you think they are: files tab in project screen
  
• How to split up the Robot Typedef into separate sub-typedefs
  
• How to replace and "resynchronize" your project after changes are made
  
• Backup code by zipping the entire project directory
  

Regards,

Ben
