robotpy-docs

As RobotPy has expanded into more and more projects and components, it has become increasingly more difficult to introduce all of the pieces to new users. This is the foundation for a unified documentation site for all RobotPy projects, in hopes of reducing that confusion.

Now that Python is an officialy supported language, this site still aims to unify the various API documentation for RobotPy projects. However, much of our documentation has been moved to the WPILib documentation.

All of our documentation is built using Sphinx, and is hosted at http://robotpy.readthedocs.io/

You can learn more about how to write RST-formatted documentation at http://sphinx-doc.org/rest.html#rst-primer

Build your own copy of the docs

First, you need to install the software needed to build the docs. You can install it by running the following command in the docs directory:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

If you are on OSX/Linux, you can build the docs using this command:

make html

On Windows, you need to run this:

make.bat html

Once this completes, you can open _build/html/index.html to view the generated documentation!
