• Fixes various bugs

REVLib 2024.2.4

You can install the C++/Java version of this library using this JSON URL in VSCode:

https://software-metadata.revrobotics.com/REVLib-2024.json

This release does not include LabVIEW. REVLib v2024.2.0 for LabVIEW is available to download here.

C++ docs: https://codedocs.revrobotics.com/cpp/
Java docs: https://codedocs.revrobotics.com/java/

Changes to C++ and Java

• Increases the default timeout to wait for a periodic status from 2*framePeriodMs to 500ms.
  • Reduces possibility for large, inaccurate jumps in data to occur when retrieving from status frames.
  • Reduces amount of "timed out while waiting for periodic status X" errors in driver station.
  • Adds setPeriodicFrameTimeout() to configure the CAN timeout for periodic status frames. See code docs for more information.
• Improves reliability of RTR CAN frames like setting parameters and other commands that expect a response from the device.
  • Adds mechanism to retry requests if sending the request or receiving the response failed. The default value for maximum number of retries is 5.
  • Adds setCANMaxRetries() to configure the value for maximum number of retries. See code docs for more information.
• Fixes undefined behavior when SPARK motor controller information cannot be retrieved during initialization.
