Smart Dashboard getting cluttered
 

We have several different team members on our team this year trying out the Smart Dashboard. It's our first year using this - so it's completely new to us. One of the things I'm noticing is that, even when I just have a very simple program written with one "number" field sent to the Smart Dashboard, I am getting a lot of things thrown into it. I've tried physically "edit" the Dashboard and removed them, then saving the blank dashboard. However, when I restart the dashboard and start up my simple program. All of the old stuff reappears.

Is this happening to other folks as well, and if so, is there a way to completely wipe it? Is it something being stored from the cRIO side? or on my laptop side?

What are the other values that are showing up? If you want to remove values that auto-populate then put the smartdashboard in edit mode (View>Editable) and then right click on the widget and click remove. To add the widget back select the appropriate widget under the View>Reveal menu. Static widgets like the camera extension must be readded through the add menu each time.

Here's information about the Smart Dashboard and "stale" data: http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...smartdashboard

Thanks Joe, That's kinda what I was looking for. Guess, I'd have to have everyone restart their laptops and then also recycle the cRIO as well.

Not reboot the laptop, just close the SmartDashboard (if open) before running the new cRIO code, then re-open it after the code has been loaded.

My program auto-changes debug levels by a switch on the smartdashboard, so I am wondering if there is ANY way to remove these values from the robot code. Even if it would require something like an edited smartdashboard, and custom network tables.
