Does anyone see the need for a protocol repository - somewhere we can put the documentation for the devices that we have connected to CQC or would like connected to CQC.
At the moment we are at the mercy of the driver writer if the docs are not easily obtainable. I twould be great to be able add them to a repository for all to use.

I'm happy to host them, but I just worry about it becoming a drain keeping up with them if there are a lot. I have lots of of documents, but I'm not sure about the legal propriety of posting all of them publically on our site. I'd not want to make our competitor's jobs any easier either for that matter.

That was the thought I had as well.
Some may be available under an NDS, others just plain hard to get and it lets those competing in the same arena access to valuable documentation.
Maybe user access only for those writing drivers - the same that could post drivers to a driver app store.

If thats the right place. Can we control who can see it?

He who writes a driver or two and submits then gets access maybe (or has a CQC licence) ? That would keep it CQC orientated but would need a moderator approach. Best to keep it sort of low key maybe
Im sure the correct approach would increase the rate of drivers becoming available for CQC. I'd have done a RXV1900 driver by now if I had the docs.

I have the 1900 docs if you want them. PM me so I can send them.
This is why I want a repository of some sorts. While a driver may not exist, the protocol docs could be posted for those that do write.
Maybe we list them and then make it available upon request, only to those on the forums

PM me with your email address; I'll send you what I have in the ways of a driver that I started for the RXV1900. (based on the RXV1700) I have not had any time to dedicate to this.
