Dashboard Viewer Program
Hi,
Just a note to say I am uploading the following VB professional program and source code. It is a barebones program but provides the following two programs.

SerialServer connects the PC via comm1 to the Dashboard port. It grabs the 3 frames of data and sends them to the client upon request. Only provides single connection.

Client connects to the server via network connection (127.0.0.1 for same pc) or the server IP address. Only configured to show RC data.

This has tested on one PC and across a network.

Read the readme.txt file first. Needs MSWINSCK.OCX and MSCOMM32.OCX registered on your PCs to work.

Hope this is useful. Feel free to modify to make it more friendly and useful for your purposes. Over the past two years we have built graphing programs, data collection programs (to excel) and autonomous teaching programs using the data feed from the robot controller.

Maybe someone can test this on a wireless system.

Regards,
ChuckB

Re: Dashboard Viewer Program
Now that is sweet.

Thanks a bunch. Very nice for those of us who don't have serial ports and don't want to kick people off of the computers that do.

BTW, he means Visual Basic 6 Professional, not VB .NET.

Don't forget that there is a new version of the Dashboard that runs in LabVIEW.

You can find it here.

Since it's LabVIEW, you can modify it to meet your own needs very easily.

For instance, suppose you want to graph a user variable being sent back from the RC. Or maybe you want to save all of the motor speeds that occurred during a drive run to a file to review later. Pretty much anything you want to do is easy in LabVIEW!

Cheers!
-Joe

It's in the download from IFI. It hasn't changed since last year.
