New Year, New ZomB Dashboard

[byteit101]

It is legal, but it can also be illegal. Right now, the using the TCP communication setting is illegal during a match, but I am working on making it legal (easy port switch) (and you can use it during development though)

We used it last year with great success, we even saved almost all our match videos: http://thecatattack.org/media/2010/RobotEye%20Videos/ and played them back in the pits using ZomB Eye. There was usually a crowd!

Are you referring to the source section of the Dashboard Data Hut? Should this be set to DBPacket? I'd really appreciate exact instructions here.

Wow! Video evidence even. If you were able to record video, I'm guessing you didn't have any issues with ZomB slowing down your robot. Impressive.

yes, DBPacket is 100% legal, TCP will be 100% legal after the next release, RemoteData (TCP2) may be legal, but probbably not by ship, but it is nice for debugging

Thanks again so much for all your work on ZomB Dashboard. The Quick Guide is great, and we are getting data from our robot to a custom ZomB dashboard, which is very exciting.

Any progress yet on making ZomB legal for FRC competitions by using legal ports? Robot Ship is in 11 days, we have all of our dashboard eggs in the ZomB basket, and we won't have time to switch to a different dashboard solution at this point. We anxiously await the next ZomB release. Thanks again for this cool software and for making it available to other teams!

Sort of, I should get a release posted late tomorrow or Sunday. (just need to actually test it, you can use the stuff in svn now if you want)
