Falcon Scouting System Release

[Clyde Sisson]

Hello I am Clyde and I am working with Bernie from team 250.

First off, thank you for developing this software. Regardless of what we found below, we believe this is a great addition to the community.

For our testing we are using a Acer laptop w/ 17" monitor, all software was installed as directed. We are however using XBox controllers and have faced a couple hurdles with that.

XBox Specific Issues
The following issues are related to using different controllers. Anyone using XBox controllers should expect to experience these issues.

• The X,Y,B and A buttons are working fine.
• The start and back buttons are programed as the Left Joystick and Right Joystick.
• The triggers are not registering.
• There also is no climb button as the center button that says Xbox is not programmable. We're reprogramming this to the D-Pad.

All Scouters

• If you hold down multiple buttons it counts for all of them.
• If you hold buttons down the count continues to increment.
• If you hit both buttons to switch from teleop to auto and auto to teleop the scouter will temporarily disappear.
• All the scores can go into the negatives which isn't a game option.

Scouter 5 Specific

• I have also found problems with scouter 5, it does not switch from teleop and auto mode correctly.
• Also with scouter 5 if you try to make it score in auto all scores go to teleop.
• There is an issue with the last digit not showing in any window if it goes to 3 digits or 2 digits that are negative.

Scouter 1 Specific

• There is also a problem with scouter one on the low goal in auto or teleop there is a zero in front of whatever score u have, but we think this is just a error of having an extra text box over the real text box.

Controller Issues

• If any controller becomes unplugged while running the scouting program you have to restart it or else that controller will not register.
• There is also no way to get scouter three to register unless u have all 6 controllers plugged in.

For some of these issues we are rewriting sections of the code. We definitely can share back the changes we have had to make to accommodate the Xbox controllers.
