Re: FRC 2012 Beta (Team 1718's First Observations)

NOTE: This is also posted at http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?p=52798.

After toying around with Kinect and the Driver Station, I do have some screenshots of the new Driver Station and cRIO Imaging Tool. One big observation with the Dashboard is that it now has a Kinect Skeleton tab, along with the normal camera tab. In the Kinect Skeleton tab, you are seeing the movement that the Kinect is picking up. However, I've noticed that it takes around 22 seconds to update the position of the skeleton (a.k.a. the player). This could be because of my computer (AMD E-350 Processor 1.6 GHz, 3GB RAM), though. I also noticed that my CPU% was in the 60's while I was doing these tests, yet the CPU% graph on the Driver Station never updated.

*I cannot post the Driver Station pictures (10KB too much), but they are available at http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?p=52798.
