I've heard a lot of arguments both ways for open source vs closed source but "don't touch it you'll hurt yourself" is a new one.

Mapping out all the driver station protocols by Wireshark is a lot of work and I respect that. The giddy child in me was hoping that someone who's done it would share their findings so we can all benefit. I'm curious more than anything, and won't have access to a cRIO till the fall so I can't map it out myself .

Good work on the app by the way! I look forward to trying it out!
