Default launches the file pointed to by the “FRC DS Data Storage.ini” file, by default this is Dashboard.exe in the Program Files\FRC Dashboard folder.
#FIRST ROBOTICS LABVIEW DRIVER#
Shift clicking on the dropdown arrow will show all roboRIO names detected on the network for troubleshooting purposes.ĭashboard Type - Controls what Dashboard is launched by the Driver Station. This controls the mDNS name that the DS expects the robot to be at. Team Number - Should contain your FRC Team Number. The Setup Tab contains a number of buttons teams can use to control the operation of the Driver Station: When the roboRIO brownout is triggered this will display “Voltage Brownout”. Status String - The Status String provides an overall status message indicating the state of the robot, some examples are “No Robot Communication”, “No Robot Code”, “Emergency Stopped”, and “Teleoperated Enabled”.
#FIRST ROBOTICS LABVIEW CODE#
The “Robot Code” indicator shows whether the team Robot Code is currently running (determined by whether or not the Driver Station Task in the robot code is updating the battery voltage), The “Joysticks” indicator shows if at least one joystick is plugged in and recognized by the DS. The “Communications” indicates whether the DS is currently communicating with the FRC Network Communications Task on the roboRIO (it is split in half for the TCP and UDP communication). Major Status Indicators - These three indicators display major status items for the DS.

See roboRIO Brownout and Understanding Current Draw for more information. The background of the numeric indicator will turn red when the roboRIO brownout is triggered. To change the team number see the Setup Tab.īattery Voltage - If the DS is connected and communicating with the roboRIO this displays current battery voltage as a number and with a small chart of voltage over time in the battery icon. Team # - The Team number the DS is currently configured for.

It displays a selection of critical information about the state of the DS and robot: Starting at age 6 and continuing through middle and high-school levels up to age 18, young people can participate at any level.The Status Pane of the Driver Station is located in the center of the display and is always visible regardless of the tab selected. The programs vary by age and challenge so that learning never stops building upon itself. Over 300,000 youth and more than 120,000 Mentors, Coaches, and Volunteers from over 60 countries participated in the 2013-2014 FIRST season.įIRST's Progression of Programs consists of four programs - FIRST LEGO League Jr (FLL Jr), FIRST LEGO League (FLL), FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) and FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC).

His passion and determination to help young people discover the excitement and rewards of science and technology are the cornerstones of FIRST. The founder, Dean Kamen, is an inventor, entrepreneur, and tireless advocate for science and technology. Based in Manchester, NH, this not-for-profit public organization designs accessible, innovative programs that motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math, while gaining self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills. Welcome to the official web site for all the FIRST programs in IllinoisįIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded in 1989 to inspire young people\'s interest and participation in science and technology.
