Update Test Drivetrain Program for Phoenix 6 instead of Phoenix 5

Open daltzctr opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

The TalonFX class is deprecated for removal in v5. Users should use TalonFX in v6 instead.

Is this an upcoming change? It doesn't appear to be deprecated in the current beta release.

It will be formally deprecated in one of the upcoming beta releases.

Since there's still supported products that can only use Phoenix 5, I think the example should be changed to use TalonSRX with Phoenix 5 and another example added that uses TalonFX with Phoenix 6.

Does this refer to this documentation page?

https://github.com/wpilibsuite/frc-docs/blob/main/source/docs/zero-to-robot/step-4/creating-test-drivetrain-program-cpp-java-python.rst

I know how to use the Phoenix 6 libraries. I just need a bit more collaborative direction before I try to make some changes and submit a pull request.
