GitHub organization for FRC Projects/Utilities

[spat]

Hello,

I have created a GitHub organization with the goal of having several open-source utilities for FRC teams in one place.

For the moment, I have only added the QDriverStation and its related projects, however, you are more than welcome to join the organization and add your own project(s).

IMO, this could benefit both the FRC community and the developers behind the utilities/software.

The link for the organization is: https://github.com/FRC-Utilities/.

Let me know what you think!

I feel that FIRSTwiki is an excellent resource, but I’m not sure it fits into the scope of this list. If you have created a utility for a FIRST resource, please add it and some basic documentation to the wiki. We are looking for a ton more people to help us with, and any help is appreciated, even if you just add your own utility.

For now, I’ll refrain from adding it as it doesn’t fall under the category of “utility” so much.

You could add some pit match schedule displays. Here is one, but there are many. It’s not quite code (excel sheet), but as a mechanical guy, it’s close enough for me. https://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2654?

Thanks for the information!
I can help you with the Control System wiki, although I am not an expert on every part of it.

Thanks for the link! I will add this to a new repository in the following days

I’m curious as to the goal of this github org… most projects tend to have their own github organizations (RobotPy, Strongback, Toast…), and that makes sense because it’s a group of repositories that make sense together in a group. Are you going to fork the other projects into your repo, or do you want other projects to merge into yours, or are you trying to compile a list of all FRC related projects?

… speaking of lists of FRC projects, I added a bunch to FIRSTwiki.

I agree with you in the sense that larger projects (such as RobotPy or Open-RIO) are easier to organize and maintain if they have their own organizations.

I am looking to add “small” (one-repo) projects that otherwise would not be known to most of the community (and thus would not receive a lot of support or feedback).
