FTA Vision

So you are convincing FIRST to get all FTAs a hololens, right?

Supposedly we're going to have some in the company library for checkout.

We'll need 4 or so for the double DECCer? I'll bring mine at least.

Sounds like production is up to demand. Currently anyone with an MSA can go buy one from the Microsoft Store.

I don't know, it probably depends on if FIRST is impressed or appalled at my field monitor app. They wouldll have to MacGyver some side shields for the HoloLenses to keep the UL folks happy though.

The graph view does give a bit of a different picture than the regular field monitor, the trip time that David was commenting on wasn't "horrible" but when you can see across 150 seconds of match time that one team that had (likely code) issues causing the trip jump to 30 ms occasionally it looks "bad" or at least noticeable. Of course 30 ms is less than a 30th of a second so the drivers aren't actually feeling the lag the way they would if it were jumping above 100 ms.

The most interesting thing I found is that the radio signal quality (the light blue line) shows when a radio starts to reboot. The signal goes away for a while, then when the radio reconnects the signal quality line comes back a good 10 seconds before the RoboRIO reconnects and starts reporting voltage.

The app is a Windows 10 Universal App, it will run on all Win-10 platforms including X-Box and IoT. After I'm happy with it I'll dump it in Xamarin to see if I can get it to run on Android.
