Hello,
First of all, I wish that everyone of you is having a good time during the build season (and 2016 in general).
I just wanted to notify you that I have just releseased a new version of the QDriverStation. If you don't know what it is, please click
here.
If have already installed the QDriverStation, just open it with a working Internet connection and it should notify you about the update.
Changes:
- Support for 2016 protocol
- POV/Hat support for joysticks
- Map E-STOP to SHIFT and SPACE keys
- 2015 protocol gets a LOT of improvements
- UI is written from ground-up in a more modular way
- Implement global event filter to avoid issues with virtual joystick or E-STOP trigger
- Implement built-in mDNS support for better cross-platform operation
- Do not use XInput for joystick reading, it only makes everything worse
- Improvements in socket programming for the LibDS
- Scalable UI to any pixel density
- Implement UI sound effects
- More options in the preferences window
