Custom Dashboard

[Herbblood]

Hi!
I've been working on a custom dashboard for the 2015 driver station. However I've run into some difficulties when trying to get the dashboard to run with the driver station. I've tried doing what I suggested for the smart dashboard (as shown here (https://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/4485/m/24192/l/290135?data-resolve-url=true&data-manual-id=24192)) but it doesn't work. Any help please?

If anyone has any insight it would be nice

Is your custom dashboard written in Java?

If so, are you able to get the SmartDashboard to load per those instructions, just to make sure java is working right?

My custom dashboard is written in java
I'm unsure how you would implement it in smartdashboard, since I coded it with jframes.

I just wanted you to try getting the SmartDashboard to work to make sure the DS is able to load a Java program. I have heard of cases where Java had to be specified as an absolute path.

If you can get the SmartDashboard to work then there is probably something wrong with your custom dashboard.

The command it runs is basically same command it would run in command prompt. I would recommend running the command in command so you will be able to see if there is an error. If everything works there then copy the command you ran into the driver station config file.
