Change smart dashboard network table to 127.0.0.1
 

I would like to do some off roboRio code testing with the smart dashboard. Like with the online viewer that can be the host network table at that address can I get the Smart Dashboard to be a client to side address?

Well, the SmartDashboard uses the java NetworkTables library which communicates via generic TCP, it shouldn't depend on the host at all. Did changing the IP to "127.0.0.1" or just "localhost" not work?

You can run it from the command line with the argument -ip 127.0.0.1 (or localhost). This is also what the eclipse wpilib menut Run Simulation Smartdashboard item does.

I did not find a spot to even enter a IP address in the Smart Dashboard preferences. Only a Team number. I will go look deeper.

Yes run from cmd worked. But you knew that. Thank you

Oh, my apologies, most FIRST software allows you to specify an IP whereever it says "Team Number" but I guess SmartDashboard doesn't.
