Status dashboard for a FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC®) Robot.
FRC® Dashboard is used as a status dashboard for a FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC®) Robot. Robot status includes commands running on each sub system (drive, shooter, etc) and component (sensor, state, etc) state. This app also records the values over time. You can also drive the robot from the app.
This app has no value outside of a FRC® robot environment (a robot is present on the same network).
FIRST®, FIRST® Robotics Competition, FRC®, Tech Challenge, and FTC®, are registered trademarks of FIRST® (www.usfirst.org) which is not overseeing, involved with, or responsible for this activity, product, or service.
The app mimics some of the features of the FIRST® provided Dashboard that runs on the control station computer. This app does not provide the enable/disable or watchdog features of the FRC® Dashboard - and the FRC® Dashboard is required to run the Robot.
Features:
* Automatic discovery of a robot present on the same network (see the settings section for the required setup).
* Automatic discovery of the robot's subsystems and components (sensors, devices, etc.).
* Records all data in the local database including the date and time.
* Real-time display of all values.
* Drive the robot.
* Initiate a robot action (fire frisbee in the 2013 setup).
* View the commands running on each sub system. Example sub systems for the 2012 season: Drive, Shooting, Beaching (extending the mechanism to lower the ramp), Gathering, Camera and Scheduler.
* View of the Robot's sub systems' activities (commands over time) from the recorded file.
* View of the Robot's components' statuses.
* View of the Robot's components' activities (state over time) from the recorded file.
* List of robot program log records (requires you to program this in the robot as detailed below).
* Recorded data collected to a comma delimited file that can be imported into a spreadsheet for further analysis.
* A set of settings to control the behavior of the app.
Updated to support the 2013 season (FRC made NetworkTable changes).
