Is OpenVex a dead project?

[billbo911]

I'm not sure if this applies here or not, but I will put it out there for anyone who might be interested.

Kevin Watson has made a Vex default code set based on his 2008 FRC default code replacement. It is built for the v .5 controller, not Cortex.

It works well with MPLab 8 and either the 2.4 or 3.0 or 3.5 compiler.

I currently have it running with Line Tracker code and a Vex US sensor. It comes set up for 6 encoders and a gyro. Kevin has also provided his Serial port code, PWM code, ADC code.

Just about all of the code I've published in the past (including the CMUcam2 code) should work just fine on the PIC-based VEX. If there is demand for a specific feature set, I can help pull the pieces together.

I'm also working on code for the Vex Cortex, but it's been hard to make much progress with the demands of my day gig. It'll happen, though.

Hello,
I recently stumbled upon Open Vex and think it is a very solid implementation on the Pic controllers (hoping for Cortex support but w/e).

Anyway I was wondering if the only working repo is the one at http://personalpages.tds.net/~jwbacon/Ports/distfiles/ or if there is a public repo where one can commit changes (like a git.) If not I'd be happy to maintain it

P.S. Does anyone know how to detect competition start signals and what not. I figure its just a serial call however if there is a working method no need to reinvent the wheel
