I am a Android Developer and I would like to discuss the protocols you implemented to get this to work. If you get a chance PM me. I would like to help the android community get this kind of support.

Thanks.

Awesome app! I'm a little confused about the the right joystick pad on the joysticks page. Our robot uses Joystick 1 for power and Joystick 2 for turning, is it possible to put these on the same page? What does the right joy pad on each joystick page do anyway?

If your in java or c++ joystick 1 is like new Joystick(1) and the left stick is axis' 1&2 and the right stick is axis' 3&4, the sticks are just different axis'

And also here is the documentation on the joysticks.

Joysticks 1 - 2

Axis | Code Reference
X Left | 1
Y Left | 2

X Right | 3
Y Right | 4

Buttons are number for number for Code Reference

Camera - Uses Joystick 1

Joystick 4 - Accelerometer

Axis | Code Reference
X | 1
Y | 2
Z | 3

Can you add some documentation inside the app itself on properly configuring network info on the iphone itself to connect to a robot? That was the biggest hurdle in getting it working, especially since most people never bother with wireless configuration, it just works most of the time.

I did add the info to the description of the app on the app store, I just don't want to push out an update just for that so I decided to add it to the app store description.

Did you reset your robots router to have the ip of 10.te.am.1 and is your crios ip 10.te.am.2? And also did you change your wifi settings in the settings to be 10.te.am.6 and did you change the team number in the app to be your team number?

The app works great. We control the robot tank style using two joysticks. The app works great if your control system is setup for a game controller such as a PS2 or xbox controller but you need to keep flipping screens to drive using two different joysticks. If there was a way to customize the joystick layout that would be very helpful!! Other than that the app is great!

Woah nice app!

I don't know why but I am not able to edit the original post, here is the download link for the driver station: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/driv...5825?ls=1&mt=8

Is it possible to add some customization? For example, I'd like to be able to put two joysticks on the same screen - last year's robot had mecanum wheels, and required two separate joysticks for driving input, and the mechanisms were controlled through a spread of buttons between the two. Being able to select, for example, which axis on which joysticks the two pads represent and which buttons are available on the screen would mean we could drive from both the iPhone and driver station without needing to switch code.

This meets your needs, but it is for android not iOS: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...tdriverstation
