SuperScouter For FRC -- A Multiplatform, Extensible Scouting System

Worked for me. Did you select your webcam from the drop down menu?

One piece I couldn't get to work however was the QR code data collection. When I brought up the data collection on the Windows Server it didn't show any image -- I was hoping it would display what the web cam saw. Without any feedback I'm afraid I wasn't able to align the QR code displayed on my tablet with the Windows server's webcam.

SenorZ has it right. You need to pick the webcam from the drop down. That feature was rushed into the final version, so the UX isn't the best on it. UX changes are some of the largest upcoming features in the next version. The QR scanner actually only scans on the camera that is showing on the reader (as selected in the drop down).

Having trouble viewing the data after sending it to my laptop/ not sure if it send. Got this error: "Unexpected end-group in source data; this usually means source data is corrupt." Any ideas?

Where did this error show up? On the app, or the server?

On the server upon trying to scan the QR Code

Hi! While I did select my webcam from the drop down menu, my laptop still isn't scanning the QR code, no matter how I hold it. Are there webcam requirements for scanning codes, or is there another issue here?

Interesting... Not quite sure why that's happening. Any chance you can screenshot the QR code and send me that image and a copy of your schema file?

There is a setup/usage guide at http://github.com/jkoritzinsky/SuperScouter4FRC/wiki

There aren't any set requirements, but I have noticed that some webcams do sometimes have problems with the scanning, probably because they don't have high enough resolution.

Do you need to send data after every match or can you collect data all day and then send it after the day is over?

While you can send data at the end of the day, I would recommend doing it as often as you can. That way if any data were to be lost from the phones, you would not lose as much.

Upon trying to replicate the error today, I didn't have any luck, but I'll send it to you if I ever get the error again.

On a slightly different note, this may be a stupid question, but how do I view the data sent to the server?

You can export the data with the button in the bottom left corner. It will allow you to save a zip file that contains csv files that have all of the data.

Thanks for letting me know hopefully I can get it up and running for Buckeye Regional

This app is great!

One thing I have a question about is when I create the server I can only connect on my local network. It is using my local ip address instead of my router's public address for the server. Is it possible to use my public address?

You'd have to set up port forwarding for port 5001 on your router. In theory I don't see why it wouldn't work but in practice i can't promise anything.

It worked perfectly! Obviously the server application still displayed my internal ip, but I could connect using my external one.

One suggestion that I would like to make is this: Is there any possible way you could make it so the server application exports data automatically? That way I could have the server running at home on my PC and it exports data automatically to a folder (and I can have the folder on a cloud drive that I could access remotely either on my phone or on another PC while at competition)
