Did you download the correct SlimDx? You should have downloaded the SDK one. Here is the download link:

Re: Falcon Scouting System Release

Thank you sooooo much, that was my problem. I installed the SDK and everything started to work. Is there any way to make the data input screen less cramped, I cannot see all of the team numbers (if the team is 4 digits I can only see three), is there any way to fix this?


Sorry about all of my questions

Hmmm if this is a problem I can make the numbers smaller. I am almost done with an update so once I finish it, I will post it

Re: Falcon Scouting System Release

That would be awsome, Thanks
Question: If our team was to use afterglow controllers, do we need the Xbox360 model or the PS3 model

We are using the PS3 model. I am not sure how it will respond with the Xbox 360 controllers

Re: Falcon Scouting System Release

Ok thanks, we are about to go and buy the controllers and I wanted to know of there was a difference, we will get PS3 controllers

Edit: Where would you suggest buying them from?

Re: Falcon Scouting System Release

Hello I am Clyde and I am working with Bernie from team 250.

First off, thank you for developing this software. Regardless of what we found below, we believe this is a great addition to the community.

For our testing we are using a Acer laptop w/ 17" monitor, all software was installed as directed. We are however using XBox controllers and have faced a couple hurdles with that.

XBox Specific Issues
The following issues are related to using different controllers. Anyone using XBox controllers should expect to experience these issues.
  • The X,Y,B and A buttons are working fine.
  • The start and back buttons are programed as the Left Joystick and Right Joystick.
  • The triggers are not registering.
  • There also is no climb button as the center button that says Xbox is not programmable. We're reprogramming this to the D-Pad.


All Scouters
  • If you hold down multiple buttons it counts for all of them.
  • If you hold buttons down the count continues to increment.
  • If you hit both buttons to switch from teleop to auto and auto to teleop the scouter will temporarily disappear.
  • All the scores can go into the negatives which isn't a game option.

Scouter 5 Specific
  • I have also found problems with scouter 5, it does not switch from teleop and auto mode correctly.
  • Also with scouter 5 if you try to make it score in auto all scores go to teleop.
  • There is an issue with the last digit not showing in any window if it goes to 3 digits or 2 digits that are negative.

Scouter 1 Specific
  • There is also a problem with scouter one on the low goal in auto or teleop there is a zero in front of whatever score u have, but we think this is just a error of having an extra text box over the real text box.


Controller Issues
  • If any controller becomes unplugged while running the scouting program you have to restart it or else that controller will not register.
  • There is also no way to get scouter three to register unless u have all 6 controllers plugged in.


For some of these issues we are rewriting sections of the code. We definitely can share back the changes we have had to make to accommodate the Xbox controllers.

Thank you for the feedback! I will work on these issues immediately. Also, thank you for implementing this for xbox controllers as I know some teams will not use ps3 controllers. I will try to finish these by today and upload the updated version I made with a defense option.

Re: Falcon Scouting System Release

It's our pleasure to help out on the software. I also found another a issue with scouter 3.
When you first start it up the right score section for the low goal is missing. If you switch to auto while in auto, then it will show the starting zeros.

Re: Falcon Scouting System Release

Sergio,

Hope the sprint to the end of Build went well for you guys. Amazingly this year we finished with an hour to go.

Saturday we're going to spend working on our scouting with the students. Any chance you'll have the code updated by then?

Thanks,

-Bernie

Yes, I currently have my program updated. I have not figured out yet how to stop the counter from going up when a button is held. I will update the code in google code ASAP

Re: Falcon Scouting System Release

Thanks Sergio. For now, I don't think that error is game breaking in any way. Just means the scouters have to pay more attention to what they are doing.
