Re: Interactive DashBoard

Well guys, it has been a wonderful 4 years of my High School life, being part of my FIRST team, Team 226 "The Hammerheads", and this FIRST community. I have gained an inexplicable amount of knowledge and wisdom from FIRST. Robots are just toys, but the experiences gained while working on them with others is something completely different. I am in debt to the FIRST society. This project is just a minor contribution. Next week, I am going off to U of M. I don't know if I can continue working with this project or help my team. But sometime in the future, when I have settled and found myself, I hope to rejoin this community and repay my debt.

I hope some of you have gotten a chance to test the software...Remember, it is only a tool, like a lathe. Use it wisely and it will help you, the programmer, breathe a little easier. But you are "real" the programmer. Your job is to make the "perfect" code...but since there is no such thing as "perfect" code...never stop improving on it.

If you guys have any suggestions for improvement, please let me know soon. I will try my best to get the changes done before I leave.


UPDATE:
I have added a new feature, along with a few bug fixes, where the names in the text boxes about the individual pwms is saved in a text file for future memory. This "Pwm_Text.txt" is saved in the same folder as the application residence. I have updated the documentation along with the application. I have also added new "System" variable group where you can watch things like Main and Backup Battery Voltages, along with other things, in the DataView. I have detailed it under the "Feature" section in the updated DashBoard_readme.doc. Note: This require RC code update as well.

NOTE: On the top right corner of the application I put "V 0.2" just to point out that this one is newer than the old one.

Thanks everyone for your support and input.
