One small thing though, when I fullscreen it, the right side white border gets chopped off. No information is missing, just the border.

Jeff, I installed Opera 9.01 to try and duplicate the bug, but it worked fine for me every time I fullscreened it. I'm not sure what's causing the issue you're having.

It looks very nice, good work. Sundial is always nice to have around.

You gotta like that high score 557 Must have been quite a match

[Rohan_DHS]

awesome =) tested it and it works really well! keep up the good work!

Looks great!

I'd love to see a version that you could make full screen, and leave it alone so that it would cycle through the various pages, and maybe only have the schedule + results pages list only the matches your team was in.

This would be great, because for my team's pit we usually have 2-3 monitors with one computer, so I'm thinking of just making 1 screen the countdown timer.

we miss you Pat!
can't wait to see you at the regionals!
[maybe before then?]

[Tetraman]

possibly one the greatest things created for FIRST

Team 1138 hosted Sundial at the '06 Los Angeles Regional, and would like to do it again this year.

I would be able to host this at the St. Louis Regional if no one else is. I assume the only requirements are a wireless router and some sort of computer to act as a server?

I was amazed when I saw Sundial for the first time at Championship last year, it was invaluable for us. I'd love to see it show up at Chesapeake this year...

In a PM to me Pat Fairbank said that it looked like FIRST would run Sundial at the events. If not he would release the source for it. If FIRST is not going to run Sundial at VCU, I would be more than willing to, but I need to know sooner rather than later so I can scrap together the hardware.

I've been trying through a number of channels to get the information I need to get Sundial up and running without requiring constant manual attention; unfortunately, none of my attempts have borne fruit thus far.

So I will try to cobble something together for the first week regionals over the next couple of days - however, it will require the hosting team to do a good bit of data entry and constant watching of the playing field. I won't be releasing the code publicly, so if your team is willing and able to host, for first week regionals only, please send me a PM specifying the regional and your email address.

What you need to host Sundial:
- Computer running Windows
- Wireless router
- Knowledge of Apache/PHP/MySQL/BIND
- At least one person to run the system full-time

I have everything except the person to man it full-time; can it be looked at every hour or so or does someone literally need to sit there and constantly watch it?

The problem is, without a link to the FIRST scoring system, Sundial has to be manually told every time a match starts so that it can stay current.

I could ask one of the scouting people if they wouldn't mind doing that.

So, how do I get the files?

Please send me a PM with your e-mail address.

I don't have anything now, but tomorrow evening I will quickly write up some manual entry tools and put together a package.
