Re: Dashboard communication ports
Greetings,
We are moving forward with our "Dashboard to Robot” communications approach which appears to be legal (our current interpretation) with update #5 where UDP port 1130 is available for “Dashboard-to-Robot control data”. The update #5 statement that these ports “are open on the playing field, so a team can use them as they wish” is fairly unambiguous although we recognize the <R75> inconsistency where it is stated that the DriverStation is the only tool allowed to collate driver/operator data to the robot.
While we are moving forward with our Dashboard plans to allow user interaction with the robot, we’ll continue to monitor the FIRST site for any further clarification on this subject and will graciously remove this capability should our interpretation later be shown to be incorrect. I’m attaching a C++ example function where we have successfully received UDP packets from our dashboard.
