Overlapping output?

[Bleric]

Alright, I did a search on the topic, and nothing came up. If there's already been discussion on this, any links would be greatly appreciated. :)

Anyway. Is there an alternative to using a bunch of delayed printf() statements to debug the robot? Some sort of overlapping output would be awesome =P Ideally, I was hoping there was some third party program which displays the values of different variables. Maybe a GUI of some sort for the robot?

If no such program exists, would it be possible to do something along the lines of

while(1)
{
x = someFunction();
clrscr();
cout << x;
}

(Well, that's what I use in my high school comp sci class, anyway :rolleyes: )

Any input / advice would be greatly appreciated :D

How would what you want to do be functionally different from Dashboard (http://www.ifirobotics.com/dashboard_viewer.shtml)? (Yeah, so it's not in a terminal window. You still get the data, and you don't even have to keep the RC tied to the computer.)

<edit>
Bleric, is your team not coming back to Sacramento this year? I remember talking with two guys from your team named Ryan and Rob. It'd be cool if we could see you all again.

Whoa! That's *exactly* what I was looking for. Thanks a million!

And our team decided to go to Arizona this year, instead of California. I'll tell Ryan and Rob you said hi, though. Maybe we'll see you at nationals. ;) *Crosses fingers*
