One of the put() methods depending on what data you want to send.

The SmartDashboard class is for sending data to the SmartDashboard, not to the UserMessages area of the driver station.

You are right, my mistake.

Re: Send User Messages (Driver Station)

I created a method that helps us display stuff easier

Code:

 public static void disp(int line, String msg)

{

DriverStationLCD.Line l;

switch (line)

{

case 1:

l = DriverStationLCD.Line.kUser2;

break;

case 2:

l = DriverStationLCD.Line.kUser3;

break;

case 3:

l = DriverStationLCD.Line.kUser4;

break;

case 4:

l = DriverStationLCD.Line.kUser5;

break;

case 5:

l = DriverStationLCD.Line.kUser6;

break;

case 6:

l = DriverStationLCD.Line.kMain6;

break;

default:

l = DriverStationLCD.Line.kUser2;

break;

}



DriverStationLCD.getInstance().println(l, 1, msg);

DriverStationLCD.getInstance().updateLCD();

}
