Go to Post Legend has it that Brandon installs the server in a bulletproof case shortly before Kickoff. That way, when the server explodes, the damage to surrounding things is minimal. - Billfred [more]

**FIRST EMAIL**/New Software Tool: FMS Light

(I wasn't available to post this one when it originally came in.)

Greetings Teams:

A new software tool is available for your use: FMS Light. This software can be used to simulate matches as well as administer pre-season and post-season events. The User's Guide and link to download the program are posted on the 2009 FRC Control System website (http://www.usfirst.org/community/frc/content.aspx?id=10934) under the heading "FMS Light."

Go Teams!

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/New Software Tool: FMS Light

After we updated to the Driver's Station image 2009-02-10a3, the switches we have going into the digital input ports do not seem to be reading in the software anymore. Is there a DETAILED description of the changes made in the software that might explain why they are no longer working?

It seems that ever software "upgrades" has created more problems then it has solved.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/New Software Tool: FMS Light

They are not being read in autonomous or not being read at all?

No input data on the DS is being sent to the robot during Autonomous/Enable after the latest DS update.

Here are the threads for the last two DS updates that contain rundowns of the changes

New Update? 2009-01-22c1
DS version 2009-02-10a3

We are using the switches for our Autonomous modes. To set up which autonomous mode to use and strategy. Program does not seem to be reading them anymore.

Yep, you will have to read them during Autonomous/Disabled and store the values for use during the Autonomous/Enabled period.
