We are using the latest FMS Offseason software from:
http://www.firstinspires.org/resourc...-season-events
Version: 2015_FMSOffSeason_Package_2_30
We've had an oddity where if the FMS operator selects the 'E-stop' option during a round, the e-stop will not be reset through any means. We have restarted the robot with repluggin the battery, reset comms, rebooted driver stations and FMS computer, still 'E-stopped' even if nothing is connected to it. We can still connect directly to the robots and they aren't E-stopped.
What seems to be happening is that the Database is being written to when they're E-stopped, but some dev on the software forgot to make it toggle. Reinstalling the software resets the E-stops.
To get around this, I've created a few batch scripts that will backup and reset the FMS database without having to reinstall. See the .zip attached below.
DISCLAIMER: As always, review any scripts you find online, I'm not responsible if you don't know batch
-ChiefDelphi Doesn't support [spoiler], hurrah for text everywhere.
Backup:
1. Download and extract .bat files to desktop
2. Create shortcuts for each .bat
3. For each shortcut, right click->Properties->Shortcut Tab->Advanced->Run as administrator.
4. Start FMS, setup your events and teams in the scheduler.
5. Exit FMS and audience display, run the 'FMSData-Backup' shortcut. Follow any obvious on-screen prompts. If successful, you should be able to exit with any key after a few seconds.
Test this before you need it
Restore:
1. Start FMS, enter in team numbers and activate round in practice match as normal.
2. E-stop a robot.
3. After round, exit FMS and Audience display.
4. Run 'FMSData-Restore' shortcut. Should exit with any key after a few seconds.
5. Restart FMS software, go back to practice match tab, you should no longer see red e-stop buttons. Your schedule should be the same from when you backed it up.
Misc:
FMSData-RestartService.bat will restart the FMS base service in case the above scripts don't succeed.
I'm hoping I looked over something, but if not, this was a fun experiment.
