Introduction to Pedro Pathing

Pedro Pathing is a library designed to provide smooth, efficient path-following for FTC robots. It is particularly known for its ability to handle complex paths with ease and its integration with modern sensors like the Pinpoint Odometry Computer.

Key Features

• Bezier Curves: Uses Bezier curves for smooth path planning.
• Asynchronous Execution: Runs path following in the background, allowing for simultaneous actions.
• Sensor Integration: Native support for Pinpoint and other odometry sensors.
• Customizable: Highly configurable for different drivetrain types and sensor setups.

Getting Started

To use Pedro Pathing, you typically need to:

1. Add the library to your build.gradle.
2. Configure your robot’s hardware in a dedicated Hardware class.
3. Initialize the Follower class with your constants and hardware settings.

Basic Setup Example

public class PedroInit {
    public Follower follower;

    public void init(HardwareMap hwMap) {
        // Initialize the follower with your robot's constants
        follower = new Follower(hwMap);
        
        // Set the starting position of the robot
        follower.setStartingPose(new Pose(0, 0, Math.toRadians(0)));
    }
}

Why Choose Pedro?

Pedro Pathing offers a unique balance of performance and ease of use. It is especially effective for teams that want sophisticated autonomous routines without the overhead of building their own path-following logic from scratch.
