Source-only default code is better than nothing, but the current source-only default code is nowhere near the IFI default code in functionality. With the IFI default code, there was a table that maps all joystick inputs to motors, and all buttons to relays, and one relay and DIO pair were used for the compressor. You could wire it up and test it. The current default source only provides for a tank or arcade drive, even the compressor control isn't enabled by default.

This is seems like something we as a community can help with without NI or WPILIB people getting involved. If a couple people just make default code (LabView, C++ and Java) that is at the level of the old IFI code and then just distribute to teams. It would be easy to have on a thumb drive at competition, to fix the teams that tried very hard to write their own code but failed.
