Changing the Team Number¶
We use alternate team numbers during summer camps and off-season events, so occasionally have a need to change them. The steps are:
- Update the FRC plug-in in your IDE:
- In Eclipse, from the Window or Eclipse menu, choose Preferences. The team number is under “WPILib Preferences”.
- In VSCode, use Control-P (Command-P on the Mac) (maybe with Shift?), then enter the command “WPILib: Set Team Number”
- In IntelliJ, the New Project wizard for FRC prompts for a team number and stores it with the project. To update, manually edit the wpilib_preferences.json found in the “.wpilib” folder at the top of the project.
- In the SmartDashboard, the team number is in the Preferences.
- Use the roboRIO Imaging Tool to update the team number. Formatting is not necessary as long as the image is up to date.
- Use the FRC Radio Configuration Utility to change the team number. Loading firmware is not necessary.
