Ubuntu One is dead, will OSDS live on?
 

So the binary links in your GitHub page all lead to Ubuntu One file storage, which was taken offline about a month or two ago. Can you reupload the files to something like MEGA or MediaFire or something? Thanks~

Re: The Open Source Driver Station Lives On!
 

Hello my fellow frustrated USFIRST Driver Station users, or am I the only one? :ahh:

I have forked the work done by Gluxon, added Joystick Support, Bound the F1, Enter, and Space keys to Enable, Disable, and Estop, and Added a Joystick Setup section to the Setup tab to select Joystick order.

I have a problem however, NONE OF IT IS TESTED... I am a college student and do not have access to an FRC robot for actual testing. I do not have the resources (a Windows and Mac machine) to put together packages for use other than on Linux, but anyone who knows a little about Node and Node-Webkit (I managed to learn in the 5 days I worked on this) should be able to get this running fairly easily.

I am reaching out to you guys in search of people willing to test and give feedback on what needs to be done to get the Open Source Cross Platform Driver Station in a usable state, preferably before January so it can be used for testing actual robots during the season.

Github: DriverStation.js

Hey gixxy,

When I saw that node-gamepad had came out, integrating it in DriverStation.js was one of my priorities for the year. However, with the new protocol in 2015, I pushed this off until January.

Are you interested in submitting a pull request to my original repository? Forks are good, so there's no hard feelings either way.

I was thinking of putting in a pull request, but not until the joystick code is actually tested with bots.

Re: Introducing the Open Source Driver Station
 

Im on a mac and I was wondering, how to load code and use the smart dashboard with this?

Re: Introducing the Open Source Driver Station
 

Firstly the OSDS is NOT compatible with the 2015 protocol, it will not work with RoboRIO robots (yet!).

The OSDS is only a replacement Driver Station. Code is loaded via your standard IDE of choice (LabVIEW for LabVIEW, Netbeans for java, and Workbench for C++) and the smart dashboard is a separate application written in Java and handles it's own network communication.
