SFX (SmartDashboard 2.0) with Driver Station

Hi guys!

So I am trying to set up SFX to open on default with Driver Station, and I'm having troubles. I followed the steps on this site (http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...h-with-the-ds), and I also followed all of their troubleshooting options. SFX opens from both Windows Explorer and Command Prompt, so that's not the problem. The path is also correct. Is anyone else having trouble or success with this?

Thanks!

No, we don't have this error. See my reply to that post for more details on that specific error.

For us, SFX opens just fine, just not with Driver Station.

Can you post exactly what you have as the command to open the dashboard?

Re: SFX (SmartDashboard 2.0) with Driver Station

In the FRC DS Data Storage.ini file, this is the line to do that...

Code:

DashboardCmdLine = "java -jar C:\\Users\\Shazbots\\sunspotfrcsdk\\tools\\sfx\\sfx.jar"

I have tried a few variations of that line, including single slashes and putting quotes around the C:\\... with both single and double dashes. None of those options work.

Re: SFX (SmartDashboard 2.0) with Driver Station

Could you try

Code:

DashboardCmdLine = "java -jar "C:\\Users\\Shazbots\\sunspotfrcsdk\\tools\\sfx\\sfx.jar""

Also make sure on the driver station that "default" dashboard is selected

I'm pretty sure I already did, but I will try again tomorrow just to confirm it works or doesn't work. I'm home for the night without that computer so I'll let you know as soon as I can try (probably tomorrow morning).

Re: SFX (SmartDashboard 2.0) with Driver Station

I'm also unable to get SFX running from the driver station (but am able to run it from the command line). My command line is

Code:

DashboardCmdLine = ""java -jar C:\\Users\\Joe-XPS13-W7\\sunspotfrcsdk\\tools\\sfx\\sfx.jar""

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit with 64 bit java. I just updated java tonight, so I'm running 1.7.0_51

It works correctly on my laptop and I followed the documentation exactly. When I get home I'll post my configuration file.

Didn't work.... The "default" dashboard is selected, and I have tried various things like double clicking it and switching between the other options before going back to it.

I'm also running Windows 7 64. There are three Java updates/JDKs I have installed:

Java 7 Update 45 (64-bit)
Java SE Development Kit 7 Update 45 (64-bit)
Java(TM) 6 Update 24

I know SFX should only run with Java 7, and it will run on my computer.

Re: SFX (SmartDashboard 2.0) with Driver Station

I guess it's also worth noting that last year we got the first version of SmartDashboard working, so we have been able to successfully edit the settings document so it changes accordingly. I haven't tried that again this year.

Also make sure you are editing the config file when the driver station is closed other wise it will overwrite it when it closes.

Yep, I have been doing that.

Re: SFX (SmartDashboard 2.0) with Driver Station

Have you (meaning anyone who has it working) integrated it into your code? The code I have currently doesn't use SmartDashboard, so I'm wondering if maybe you need to be using it for it to come up?

(sfx dev here) Shouldn't be necessary. Do you have multiple JVM's on your system by any chance?
