Re: Dashboard protocol documentation
Two questions you may or may not know the answer to.

1. I have written most of the code in Java for a Virtual Driver Station. I am having trouble with the checksums at the end of the FRCComm file. Are they just Xor's or are they some other alograthim? (I have never done checksum calculation before)

2. We give out little disks at the competition. We were thinking of building a shooter this year for off-season use at games and school events. I want to join the CRIO to the school network and then use the camera to drive around. I have been searching for P2P examples so I could write an application for the CRIO. I haven't found much on the low-level workings of P2P networking, but from the sound of your app, the CRIO already uses P2P to communicate. Is this the case? If it is, my life will be so much easier.
