NetConsole kinda sucks. Messages appear out of order, it doesn't always connect over wifi, no ANSI support. Something else would be good.

Some options:

  • SSH. This could not be used at competition.
  • UDP broadcast. A wrapper program would probably have to be written to do this. That's exactly what netconsole is. Although UDP doesn't preserve order, which might be part of the issue
  • A Logback logger. There is probably already something existing to do this, but I have not seen it. The downside of this is that it does not capture output from some WPILib components, or other kinds of crashes.

I was able to read the console over UDP from a console program, so that helps with terminal support. It's still UDP though, so message order could be an issue.
