Re: RoboDS First Test
Did a few runs with the app, mainly to test different functions of our (yet to be completed, work in progress) testbed. Only tested in tank drive configuration with one cim per side of the robot, having some glitchy comms with the watchdog triggering and going ballistic making the robot spaz, but that is not the apps fault. This happens when the frc driver station is active while the robods app is also connected to the roborio.if at all possible, support for a Usb external joystick would be great, as I have a tablet with a USB port. Also, I would love to see a dedicated e-stop button or a function that disables the robot if the connection drops. Other than that, I think the app is great.
