This is the 2019 Flutter rebuild of the 1257 Deep Space scouting app. This is intended as a guide on which future scouting apps should be built; it is being done here in Flutter for iOS and Android compatibility in order to create a fully exportable and versatile scouting system for other teams.
To compile for either Android or iOS, install Flutter from these instructions.
Run flutter build apk in the repository root to generate the release APK.
Complete the necessary setup in Xcode (after plugging the intended device into a Mac) in order to run flutter build ios in the repository root.
- The APK file at
build/app/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apkcan be shared anywhere, through Drive or e-mail. - For iOS, compress the generated app into an IPA file. Using a service such as Diawi, it may be possible to distribute said scouting app without necessarily connecting every device to a Mac.
If you want to use this to have a scouting system, you will need 6 devices. Please contact us at scouting1257@gmail.com for us to generate analysis spreadsheets and prefilled form links for data input for you (else the app data will be useless). You will need to:
- take the form IDs for the links and put them into the settings under Objective and Pit
- change the robot to scout under the settings page for each device to a different robot
The scouting itself is fairly self-explanatory - just fill out the fields and submit.
To send data, you can
- just submit when scouting if your device has an Internet connection at the time
- load and upload error logs on the Send screen whenever your device has an internet connection
- (for Android) run app on BT paired device with a connection and accept connections on that device before sending from Send screen
