FRC Match Information Display
 

-FRC Match Information Program v1.0 by Team3593-

The Match Information Program is a tool to display the bumper color, alliance members, and time-of-match for any competition! Right now, I can customize the program for anyone who wants it, just send me an Icon 32x32 and a Team Graphic 705x333 and I'll make it your own! Read below for basic use and let me know any problems you encounter as this is the first program I've released! :D

Basic Use:
-Install the appropriate vs2012 redisributable for your system
-To set match times, click the corresponding button and type the times of each match
-To set Alliance Partners, click the corresponding button and enter your Alliance partners for each match
-Make sure you spell "blue" and "red" correctly in the Bumper Color boxes, future updates will remove the typing function and just give the choice between the two

Planned Updates:
-Choice between Blue and Red in comboboxes instead of entering text
-Automatic match switching by time (20 minutes after the scheduled match time, the program will display the next match information until 20 min after the Next scheduled time)

You can download it here!

The link says that the file is private

Re: FRC Match Information Display
 

Could you maybe host it on dropbox or Google Drive opposed to mediafire??

Re: FRC Match Information Display
 

Fixed! Should be accessible here on mediafire and here on google drive!

Re: FRC Match Information Display
 

Well ya see....mediafire is blocked :D

Re: FRC Match Information Display
 

It's on drive now, check the link up there^ XD

Re: FRC Match Information Display
 

Thank you so much...seems like a cool program

Re: FRC Match information Display
 

Can you share some screenshots of what this looks like?

Re: FRC Match Information Display
 

Tossing Sundial up there as something to poke around with… esp since some of us don't run windows machines.

Re: FRC Match Information Display
 

This difference between this and Sundial is that this is offline. Our team will be setting it up at the beginning of an event and just letting it run in our pit to just give us kind of a HUD for what's up next in the heat of the competition. There's no scores and no match results in this, purely a preparation utility for your team :D

I just thought I'd put it out for anyone to try!

Re: FRC Match information Display
 

Here's some shots up on Google Drive!

Main Screen
Alliance Partners
Match Times

Here is the project up on google drive as well, if you couldn't get to mediafire.

Re: FRC Match information Display
 

Why do we have two threads with the same OP message?

Re: FRC Match Information Display
 

I know, I just wanted to point it out as an option for people.

Re: FRC Match Information Display
 

I don't know if you can write Android apps but this seems like a much better program for a phone than a computer, I know I am not running around the pits with a laptop.
Also, just some suggestions for future updates:
Getting schedule information from the FIRST website as soon as it is posted so you don't have to type it all in by hand.
Notifications a set time before your match is scheduled (or if using the live FIRST data, a notification when the match 3 before yours has had scores posted)

Re: FRC Match Information Display
 

My team has used something similar.

It is very useful to just keep running on a laptop in the pits. Extra notifications or a phone app or anything of that manner would be added complexity with minimal-no benefit. The robot is always in the pits with a few people, so it's not like we just forget to go to our match.

Re: FRC Match information Display
 

This is a neat idea.

FRC Tracker does a simple schedule view for mobile devices.

But Having a nicer way to display the data on a monitor at the Pit would be pretty cool !

In theory, you should be able to grab this automatically by looking at the Blue Alliance API.

Re: FRC Match information Display
 

FYI...
In the program when you run through the matches. It goes to match 21 then back to match number two.

Re: FRC Match information Display
 

Thanks for the heads up! It's fixed and will be coming in the v1.2 which will come very very soon, like tomorrow maybe

I thought it would be helpful to have it in this sub as well as in programming, and I plan to release the source code in the programming section thread, as opposed to not doing that in this one

Re: FRC Match information Display
 

Threads merged.

Re: FRC Match Information Display
 

Right now me and another programmer are learning how to do android apps for a scouting system, but this program was meant to be able to just display on a stationery screen in the pits, kinda like Pault's explanation:
The reason the data must be entered by hand is that we don't plan to have any connection to the Blue Alliance other than on our phones and we decided against purchasing a mobile 3g or 4g usb dongle this year due to budget constraints. I think having a notification before a match would be helpful! Thanks for the suggestion, I will work on that!

Re: FRC Match Information Display
 

Update!

v1.2 is now available on MediaFire and Google Drive!

v1.2:
-Comboboxes instead of writing out bumper color
-Small GUI fixes that bugged me
-Comboboxes fixed crash if bumper color was entered incorrectly
-Fixed form3 not saying "Match Times" at the top

Still to come:
-Automatic Timing of match changes (thanks to nathannfm for the idea)!
-Notification of bumper color, match time and alliance partners 10 minutes before your next match starts!

Re: FRC Match Information Display
 

I like it! Is there any way you could release the source code under a free license? I would love to make some changes, and if you'd let me, contribute back to the project.

Re: FRC Match Information Display
 

For sure!

Google Drive and MediaFire downloads for the latest source code!

It was created in C# - VS express 2012

Re: FRC Match Information Display
 

Update!

v1.3 is now available on MediaFire and Google Drive!

v1.3:
-Added defaults in the comboboxes
-Added period box to the Times sheet
-Notification 10 minutes before the match starts
-Option to allow the program to automatically proceed to next match after a specified time amount
-Fixed-sized windows
