ZomB Dashboard System 0.7 coming soon

[byteit101]

ZomB 0.7 is coming soon (hopefully just before Kickoff), but while you wait, you can play with 0.7 alpha 5.
This has many new features since v0.6 such as:

• Visual ZomB - an editor to graphically design dashboards without Visual Studio (required before)
  • VS like drag and drop easy design surface with snap lines
  • One click deploy to dashboard location (loads on driver station launch)
• WPF versions of all controls (therefore, please make sure you have the .net framework 3.5)
• Compressed Video saving (previously uncompressed avi's, HUGE!)
• TCP support (both ways! instant debug for non-LabVIEW users!)
• NSIS Installer
• Force feedback via xShake control
• and a bunch of bugs fixed

Also, this alpha comes with a quick getting started guide, a demo dashboard, and an updated Complete Guide to ZomB.
Download the installer, or go the the FIRST Forge page.

Note, TCP support is only if you use C++, Java needs testing. Scale and Skew transforms will be coming soon. I'm also working on a nice video showing it all off.

If you have any suggestions, feedback, bugs, or comments, please let me know.

The latest build has new LabVIEW bindings and a Driver station control that can enable the robot (joysticks coming soon)
Note that you need to ftp the ZomB.out file in the bindings folder to the /ni-rt/system folder and add it to the startup dll list (just like NetConsole and Black Jaguars) An installer is coming soon though...
