14468 FTC Beta Testing Updates

I made a chassis and an arm with the a301s, here's feedback so far

1. RHC2 hardware doesnt show up on mac. I spent like 2 hrs trying to figure it out so i could update the a301 firmware, then switched to windows and it worked.
2. One of our ports was broken. I think it was D17 on the motioncore but it would recognize the motor when i spun manually, however it wouldn't give power. When i switched the CAN ID in code to another port and put in that port it worked fine.
3. With the driver station, it doesn't throw the errors that are actually happening. One of my A301s firmware was outdated, and instead of saying that, it would just alternate between "waiting for robot code" -> "no robot code". I ultimately had to go to the terminal and figure it out. Would be nice if it showed you the actual error.
4. Why don't we get the CAD of all this stuff when we get the package? The CAD for the mounts REV sends with the a301 would be nice. Also on that note the collars are very bad in my opinion. You have to tighten them super tight to actually work, but by then the screw is likely to strip (m3 😭) and then you can't get it out. (Please give us M4 REV).
5. Logitech gamepad doesn't work on mac with first driver station but im pretty sure this was fixed today.

Oh also pls let us flash OS without installing libusb cuz its like very difficult for ppl with locked down computers that don't have admin perms

Hi @Jacob101119

Can you elaborate on hardware not showing up on mac? Are you running the app directly and connecting devices via USB, or connecting to a systemcore via WiFi? Someone reported that hardware doesn't show up in safari, and I replicated this. If you are connecting via Wi-Fi, can you test on Chrome or Firefox to make sure you're seeing the same issue?
