For those of you who may be a little confused after reading the messages in the Tech forum regarding the Dashboard Decoder project that I have been working on, and now seeing the information on it in Update 6, let me just clarify some of the information:
- There is a dashboard decoder program, written in Visual Basic 6.0 and packaged as an OCX, available at
http://www.hollandfirstrobotics.com/...ta/finalrev2/. The source code for the OCX is also available at that site.
- My current team is Team 66, GM Powertrain Group and Willow Run High School. For the '98 and '99 competitions, I was with Team 74, and still work with them on their web site. They allowed me to use a portion of the site in order to provide a place for the program to be downloaded from. I am also working on uploading the program to the team066 section of SharingFIRST.
- Despite the appearance of the URL from which the program can be currently downloaded, the version available is the official release version. It was simpler to use an existing directory and just update the files on the server than it was to create a new directory for the release version.
- I am glad to help teams with any problems they run across while attempting to program their custom dashboard application. For help, e-mail me at
njsmith@online.emich.edu.
- If you use the OCX without modification, I ask that you credit my work as follows in an 'about box' to the program. This information can be in addition to any that you add personally:
