Current measurements for detecting vacuum.

[jwaltner]

Need current measurements to detect when the vacuum has grabbed a balloon. This should be able to be obtained from the power distribution hub.

Michael found this code... could potentially work as a starting point.

import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.PowerDistributionPanel;
public class Robot extends TimedRobot {
    private PowerDistributionPanel pdp = new PowerDistributionPanel();
    @Override
    public void robotPeriodic() {
        // Read the current draw on channel 0
        double current = pdp.getCurrent(0);
        System.out.println("Current on channel 0: " + current + "A");
    }
}

• [X] The simple code for getting the current value is working on Eclipse
• [ ] Need to test specific values to see if it has a balloon
• [ ] Need to change PDH and id for BunnyBots2024

@An-JieYu , please take a look at current measurements, we will need to do this so we can figure out when we grabbed the balloon. Thx.
