Re: Dashboard communication ports
With respect to communications in the other direction, Update #5 (25-Jan-2011) states that UDP 1130 is being available for “Dashboard-to-Robot” Communications which is highly suggestive that we are now allowed to communicate to the Robot from our own dashboard and overrides Rule 75 where the Driver Station is the only tool allowed to collate driver/operator inputs and send them to the robot.

This is a big change opening many opportunities for enhanced leveraging of the PC facilities (screen, keyboard, touch screen, ANY USB device, etc) at the console.

Does anyone disagree with this interpretation that we ARE now allowed to directly send data from our dashboard to the Robot ?
