Where is the Samantha Software?

Solved!
Go to solution

We are a new team and are trying to get the Samantha module working for the first time.

According to the documentation, there is supposed to be a download for software that lets us configure our laptop to be able to talk to the Samatha module.  Its something like "Samantha Field Control System", but I have looked through the web pages off of http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/ftc and I just can't find it.

It seemed to me that maybe its already built into the Field Control Software Ver. 3.0.6 package of software that we downloaded.  But I can't find it there either.   (We did find a samantha hex file buried in the Labview programs, but we're not yet in a position to use it.)

So...  help!  Where is the Samantha software?

Thanks in advance,

Peter Halverson

OK.  The problem is solved.  I double-checked and it turns out that we had not installed the Field Control System download.  My mistake.   So yes, the software exists at this web location: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/ftc/fcs

and it installed just fine.

Where did you find the samantha.hex file? Our team is also using Samantha Module for the first time, and we are unable to locate it.
