Attention! The official repository was moved to: https://github.com/Flash3388/FlashLib.

This repository is now obsolete.

Welcome to FLASHLib, an extensive Java library providing algorithms and functionalities for a large amount of fields in programming.

The library consists of 5 main parts, each with different dependencies and usages:

• FLASHUtil: A utilities library

  • No requirements
  • Easy logging features
  • Quick and simple file IO
  • Both simple and advanced mathemetical functionalities, like: Complex numbers, Matrices, Vectors, Fourier Transform, Interpolation, Integrals, Derivatives and more!

• FLASHComm: A communications management library

  • Requires FLASHUtil
  • Communication management
  • Can interface with multiple communication ports: IP based sockets, Serial, I2C and more
  • Camera data communication (Requires FLASHVision)

• FLASHVision: A vision library

  • Requires FLASHUtil, FLASHComm
  • Camera interfacing (Requires openCV)
  • Running of vision processing code from a remote controlling source or local
  • Sending and recieving of processing data
  • Dynamic vision processing system
  • Interfacing with any vision library
  • Built in openCV interfacing (Requires openCV)

• FLASHBot: A control and managment library for robots

  • Requires FLASHUtil, FLASHComm, FLASHVision
  • Compatible with the FRC RoboRIO (RIO) platform (Requires WPILib)
  • Compatible with the Raspberry PI (RPI) and BeagleBone Black (BBB) platforms (Requires Bulldog)
  • Robot control management: scheduling of actions and systems (RIO & RPI & BBB)
  • Algorithms for advanced sensor-based movement (RIO & RPI & BBB)
  • Algorithms for vision-based movement (RIO & RPI & BBB)
  • Built in drive trains and generic systems (RIO)
  • Interfacing with FLASHBoard (RIO & RPI & BBB)
  • Sensors interfacing (RIO & RPI & BBB)
  • Motor controllers interfacing (RPI & BBB)

• FLASHBoard: A custom driver's dashboard

  • Requires FLASHUtil, FLASHComm, FLASHVision
  • Easy-to-use remote control placement from connected robot controller
  • Camera display
  • Built in image processing (Requires openCV)
  • Built in SSH and SFTP clients (Requires JSCH)
  • Located in a different repository: https://gitlab.com/FLASH3388/FLASHboard

The library is still a work in progress and the repository is not user-friendly, as work progress this will change. We plan to move the reporitory to GitHub, where it will be properly organized.
