As WPILib has migrated closer to an Open Source model, we have assembled a larger group of “Core Developers” who handle most of the development of the library and tools. “Modern” (cRIO and later) WPILib development was originally done by Brad and a small number of WPI students with additional support on the initial release from DEKA, BAE Systems, NI (especially Joe Hershberger), and a few other volunteers. Since then WPILib has continued to grow and evolve as the primary library used by C++ and Java teams in FRC. A year later, Java support was added as a result of work done by WPI students working on a senior project (MQP). When National Instruments (NI) was working on the cRIO control system for the 2009 FRC season, WPILib was identified as a good supplement to provide support for teams programming in C++ and became an official part of the system. The intent was to abstract away some of the lower level details of the hardware (interrupt routines, voltage measurements and conversions, communications details, etc.) and allow students to focus on solving higher level problems. WPILib was originated in 2005 by WPI professor Brad Miller as a way to simplify program development for the IFI robot control system being used in FRC at the time. Before anyone TL DRs or falls asleep, there may be a special opportunity tucked away at the end of this blog post (no, it’s not a game hint!). Great questions, Brian! As the FIRST Staff member responsible for managing the FRC Control System team, Frank asked me to share a little bit about the WPILib team.

Perhaps it would be nice to have a Frank blog post about the WPILib team, the history, who they are, how they work, how to report bugs or feature requests, etc. Stocks, Crypto, DAFs, Legacy Giving, and more.Workplace Giving & Corporate Matching Gifts.
