pyntcore install¶

pyntcore is a python package that allows FRC teams to use Python to communicate with their robots via NetworkTables. It can be used on your Driver Station, on a coprocessor such as a Raspberry Pi, or any platform supported by the WPILib team.

Note

If you’re looking for a pure python implementation of NetworkTables, check out the pynetworktables project. It only supports NT2/NT3.

RoboRIO installation¶

pyntcore is installed as part of the core RobotPy installation.

Windows

# While connected to the internet
py -3 -m robotpy_installer download robotpy

# While connected to the network with a RoboRIO on it
py -3 -m robotpy_installer install robotpy

Linux/macOS

# While connected to the internet
robotpy-installer download robotpy

# While connected to the network with a RoboRIO on it
robotpy-installer install robotpy[cscore]

For additional details about running robotpy-installer on your computer, see the robotpy-installer documentation.

Non-roboRIO installation¶

Pre-built wheels of pyntcore can be installed by installing the robotpy package, or installed separately via pip (shown below):

Windows

py -3 -m pip install -U pyntcore

Linux/macOS

pip3 install -U pyntcore

ARM Coprocessor

pip3 install -U --find-links=https://tortall.net/~robotpy/wheels/2023/raspbian/ pyntcore

Getting Started¶
