Getting Started

This is the fourth (and likely final) beta release of WPILib for the 2022 season. This requires the 2022 v2.x roboRIO image (either roboRIO 1 or roboRIO 2).

Check out what's new for 2022 and jump directly to the WPILib installation guide.

A list of known issues with this release can be found here. Known issues for beta 4:

• sysid: REV and CTRE devices are now supported, but a deployed drive project will segfault if configured with a drivetrain Talon with a Pigeon plugged into it. This will be fixed by wpilibsuite/sysid#256.

Major changes from Beta 3:

• WPILib
  • DutyCycleEncoder: add support for setting duty cycle range
  • Various REV PDH and PH improvements
  • Fix simgui display of Encoder, PCM, and DeviceTree
  • Fix deadlocks in Mechanism2d
  • C++: Fix duplicate port allocations in several examples
  • C++: Start DriverStation thread from RobotBase to ensure info is published
  • C++: Fix Mecanum and Swerve ControllerCommand dangling lambda captures
• GradleRIO
  • Remove log4j usage
  • Update to Gradle 7.3.2
  • Fix missing simulation artifacts
  • Add support for custom Java garbage collector selection
  • Add support for configuring deploy stage from DSL
• Shuffleboard
  • More gracefully handle Windows N
• VS Code
  • Disable system certificates (fixes certificate errors for some vendors)
  • Fix uses of deprecated functionality (e.g. externalConsole)
• Installer
  • Support Windows 7 again (with deprecation message for 2023)
  • Abort install if a JDK process to be installed over is running
  • Change install options to "tools only" and "install everything"

If you're starting from a 2021 robot project, you will need to import it to create a 2022 project. The import process is particularly important for 2022, as it will try to make a number of automated corrections for the various breaking package moves that happened in 2022.
