Re: Using a DS to control a FRC robot
The contents of each packet are listed in the FRCCommonControlData struct in the NetworkCommunication/FRCComm.h file of the WPILib source. Wireshark (a.k.a. Ethereal) might help with disassembling the packets. I've looked at the packets with Wireshark, but it's hard to extract useful information without a disassembler plugin. Does anyone know why the protocol is supposedly private/closed-source? I would think that FIRST would encourage exactly this kind of innovation.
