Re: Virtual Driver Station

Dave any chance of getting this to talk to FMS Light, we have some local teams that have dead driver stations and would love to use an awesome tool like this for the off season. Also, the off seasons don't get an e-stop with FMS Light so the space bar would actually safer then the real deal. We are looking at getting a keyboard USB HID dev board to use for I/O and E-Stop.

It's really too bad the bridge won't talk to a ad-hoc network.

Re: Virtual Driver Station

Hello,

I just wanted to speak about how valuable a tool like this is. Team 1503 used it today during our Introduction to Robotics workshops. We used it, because we needed to run two robots with two 2009 control systems. We only had one Drivers Station. So, I suggested we use your VDS, and it worked flawlessly.

Thank you for writing such a wonderful tool. You beat me to the punch, too.

-Nick

Re: Virtual Driver Station

After writing a different thread, someone linked me to this one, and I have to say, this program is truly the definition of awesome, i.e. worthy of awe! Next year in our robotics class, we're going to have a few cRIO's on mid-size robots (not for FRC, for our own class), and I we were shuddering at the proposition of having to buy as many full control systems (the "wireless control" budget I was given for research was $300, and it covered enough Netgear wireless bridges to form ad-hoc networks between the laptops and the robots). This tool looks amazing, and it's going to save us! Thank you so much for writing this, you're really helping a lot of people!

Only one complaint: it doesn't run in Linux under WINE Not your fault though

I'm not going to just give it out because I bet if it wasn't public... there is a reason. I'll check into it and get back to you.

I applaud the effort you have put into this already, nice work.
did you happen to find out if the 'soft driver station' is available to everyone? if so, could you help direct me to a downloadable version or add on of the labview software that would allow me to use the 'softd driver station' as of now i have the 2009 frc competition version of labview.

Re: Virtual Driver Station

As Stephen pointed out, the internal soft DS used for development wasn't complete, and wasn't suitable for distribution. The one discussed in this thread seems very well done and is available for download.

Re: Virtual Driver Station

Dave,

I was wondering if I could get the source to the Virtual Drivers station, I would like to add interfacing to the Cypress FirstToutch PSOC-3 kit.

Thanks,
