Re: The Open Source Driver Station Lives On!

Hello my fellow frustrated USFIRST Driver Station users, or am I the only one?

I have forked the work done by Gluxon, added Joystick Support, Bound the F1, Enter, and Space keys to Enable, Disable, and Estop, and Added a Joystick Setup section to the Setup tab to select Joystick order.

I have a problem however, NONE OF IT IS TESTED... I am a college student and do not have access to an FRC robot for actual testing. I do not have the resources (a Windows and Mac machine) to put together packages for use other than on Linux, but anyone who knows a little about Node and Node-Webkit (I managed to learn in the 5 days I worked on this) should be able to get this running fairly easily.

I am reaching out to you guys in search of people willing to test and give feedback on what needs to be done to get the Open Source Cross Platform Driver Station in a usable state, preferably before January so it can be used for testing actual robots during the season.

Github: DriverStation.js
