I am the scouting Mentor for our team. I am very interested in using your scouting software. I am not a programmer but I’ve used VBA inside excel a whole lot. I know just enough about JavaScript to be dangerous. I have never seen GitHub before. I tried to follow your instructions and also some other things that I saw on GitHub. Right now I can’t get the main thing to show up in our repository. I also cannot figure out how to copy the software to our depository. I am sure I will have more questions later but for now I would really like to just play with it. I appreciate any help you can offer in advance. Thank you. |

So, where you want to start is to click on "Fork" up in the top right corner of this page. Answer the questions and then you'll have a copy of the ScoutingPASS software in your account. It will be under repositories. Now go to your copy and you can view all the code and configurations. Near the top are a bunch of "tabs": Code, Issues, Pull Requests, etc. At the end is Settings. Click on Settings. Then on the lefthand menu click on "Pages". Under source, select the Main branch and click Save. It will display a message that says your site is live and give you the URL. You'll probably have to wait 5-15 minutes for the page to populate, but it should be there eventually. Once you're up on your own site, you can play around with the configuration and all. Let me know how it goes. Scott Elmer |

Hi Evan. We haven't noticed anything like that in our experience, but we don't use tablets. You could try changing the offending colors and see if that helps. We've recently updated the app including improving the color scheme. Try using the latest code and see if that works. If not, try changing the color in this line in index.html: Let me know how it goes. Scott |

It appears to have worked. Thank you. I don't know what I did or didn't do
the last time. I am not sure I care.
So now is there some kind of relationship between my version and yours?
I know I will need to know these things but am not sure how to ask them.
1. What is the name of each variable (or field or whatever) from each entry
on the tablet?
2. What is the expected output from radio buttons? (R1-3, B1-3 for example)
3. In the description you said I could pick from certain data types? If I
wanted to add or change things how do I set the data type?
4. I think the description said that I could prepopulate team numbers from
the match schedule. Can I assign a certain tablet to be R1, remove the
choice for that question, and then populate the teams in that spot? It
seems like I would need six different files and have R1 download that
specific file.
5. Where is the field image file with the grids? If we added that for
shooting locations and robot A shot from 10 different locations what would
that output look like? I don't suppose you can do make versus miss on the
same image field?
6. Can the tablets be Kindle Fire? Do you know if there are any additional
software things needed to make this work on that? We have done this before
with a different system that didn't work out too well. I am not sure if the
software just had a lot of issues or if this software emulator thing was
part of the problem.
Thank you so much for your help. I am sure I will be in touch with more
questions as we get into this.

Eddie, Glad you got it working. Let me see if we can get some of these questions answered:
Good luck. Scott |

I tried to modify the configuration. I don't know if I did it right or not.
I cannot view my version of the app (FRC3931.github.io/ScoutingPASS). Each
time I get a 404 error.
Do I need to modify the Excel file (some save data line) in the same way as
I modified the configuration? Does order matter on the scanner portion?
Where will it save the data to? Does that save data line refer to default
values or data types equal to the field name?
Thanks again for your help.

Eddie,
Glad you got it working. Let me see if we can get some of these questions
answered:
1. Look in the configuration file (directory: 2022/RR_config.js). Each
field has a "code" associated with it. That code is what is used in the QR
code to transfer the data.
2. For radio buttons you can configure the output however you'd like.
For the "robot" field (code='r'), the choices are:
"r1":"Red-1",
"b1":"Blue-1",
"r2":"Red-2",
"b2":"Blue-2",
"r3":"Red-3",
"b3":"Blue-3"
If you pick Red-1 then r1 will be returned. In the QR code you will
see r=r1, if you pick Blue-3, you'll see r=b3.
3. The data types are fixed. You can see the list of them in the
README.md. Your programmers could add more if you're so inclined.
4. You can't assign a certain tablet to a specific robot. However,
once you pick the robot to scout, it will stay on that robot unless
specifically changed. The "Clear Form" button increases the match number
and keeps the same robot. So, it's not foolproof, but it's something.
5. I will post the grid format with numbers in the README.md soon.
Here's how we used the data in 2020 to graph it in Excel. It required some
VBA programming and beyond the scope of this application. [image:
ShootingGrid]

The hit vs miss is an interesting idea. That's not currently a feature.
6. It should work on anything that has a web browser. I'd try it
before competitions though to make sure.
Good luck.
Scott

Hi, First off it looks like you haven't setup the GitHub pages. Did you do this step?
Basically go into the repository settings, select "Pages". On the next page select "main" branch and click save. It should display a URL, the same one you showed me. It will take up to 10 min or so for the pages to be deployed. After, 10 min try the URL and it should work. |

Hi is it possible to change the size of the field image it is hard to press on smaller devices and also is there a way to increase the rendered resolution? |

The QR code and sending to Google Sheets are separate functions. The QR scanner is connected to a laptop and needs something to read the input. In this case, it's Excel. The Google Sheets functionality is a button on the QR screen that sends the data directly to your Google Sheet over the internet. I guess it's possible to write a script for Google Sheets to take an input from a QR code, but since you have the ability to send it straight to the sheet I'm not sure why you would want to put the scanner in the middle of that interaction. |

Basically everyone seems to prefer Google sheets over excel and everyone
wants to use the scanner bc of wifi issues at events so they were thinking
we could use the scanner and it would go to a Google sheet instead of
excel. That's the thought process the head mentors had.

I can see why some teams would want to use Google Sheets. However, I haven't run across many that want to use it offline. Thank you for explaining your use case and we'll see if that's something we can add in a future release. |

Hi! Team 4188 is excited to use this system for scouting at our first event this weekend. I forked it and had the TBA API working great with the sample event from 2020, but when I put in event codes from this season week 1, I am not seeing any teams returned on the pre-match screen. Am I missing something in the event code? thanks! |

It seems to be working on my fork. Did you include the year? That’s part of the event code: 2023bcvi |

Thanks so much! I think it was a combo of year and case sensitivity. I appreciate your help! We are now ready for Peachtree District Albany event tomorrow! |

Do we only have to update the event code in order to get the api for an event to work. i.e I am looking to test out the canadian pacific regional tomorrow even though we will not be attending. Not really sure I am understanding how to request the token and get the access code and then add it into the tba interface code. |

Yes, the event code change is all that’s needed. However, we have exposed a TBA key that we consider “public”. You can use it, but if it gets abused (thousands of requests a day) it could be deactivated and the TBA integration will no longer work. In order to protect against this we HIGHLY recommend that you get your own key for competitions. |

Hi! I'm attempt to make a Google Sheet for my team's scouting, unfortunately, I got a little lost after the "Scouting P.A.S.S Set Up Set up the URL. In resources/js/googleSheets.js, on line 2, replace <SCRIPT URL> with the URL you just copied from Google Sheets. It needs to stay wrapped in single quotes." part for your ScoutingPASS app. Is this a file I need to download, or is this a file I should have already? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for such an amazing resource! |

Hi. Thanks for choosing ScoutingPASS! So, the Google Sheet integration is done in two parts. Part 1 - The web app with the screens to enter scouting data and format the data for Google Sheets The glue between those two parts is a URL. (i.e. https:// script.google.com/macros/s/REALLY LONG STRING OF NUMBERS/exec) If you missed copying that URL when you deployed the script, you could find it again by following these steps:
That should get you past that step. There was a bug fix to the Google Sheets script last week. Make sure you have the latest version (remove .join(',') from line 22.) If it's still not working contact me with your repository link and the Google Sheets link and I'll take a look at it for you. |

We had great success using ScoutingPass for the PCH Albany event! With it being a week 1 event, our scouting team didn't have much training, and they were still able to enter solid data. I received feedback from the scouts asking if the grid positions selected in Auto can carry over to the TeleOp portion, since those game pieces are still there. Any ideas how to carry these forward? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

That's an interesting thought. The way it's written right now there's no way to carry it over. They are two separate data inputs and no way to connect them. But that's something we can keep in mind as an improvement for the future. |

I am going to try and request my own key, but once I get it where do I post
our new key?

I requested a read api on blue alliance like a week ago and got something that looks like this

Great! Now plug that into the TBAInterface.js file. Go to resources/js/TBAInterface.js and replace the long string on line 4 with the string above and you should be good. |

Ok so that in addition to the name change of the event? Also I'm looking
for the read not the write api correct?

I have an event this weekend at finger lakes you think I can request that api token tonight or would I need to wait till say tomorrow night or Friday morning? |

All you need is the Auth Key, which you posted above. You don't need a token. Then you need to update the even field with the event code. For finger lakes it is 2023nyro. (All lower case) Put that in the configuration file, 2023/CU_config.js or 2023/CU_GS_config.js. |

I entered 2023nyro in both files to be safe that you mentioned above and it did not update to the finger lakes. Would that be because the API is just not accessible yet. All matches are loaded onto the blue alliance for tomorrow so I assumed they are accessible. |

The other thing I posted was from a previous event but I never used it so
all I have for finger lakes is a token right now. I'm assuming I need to
request the api with this token to get that.
