Print to Driver Station?

Hello,

I am looking for a way to display messages in the driver station using a function other than println()'s, as i am afraid that this may result in too much processor usage on the roborio. I am aware of the DriverStationLCD class, but that appears to have been removed from the latest version of WPILib. (http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...rrors-warnings)

Thank you in advance!

Re: Print to Driver Station?

With the roborio, processor usage on a simple print shouldn't be an issue.

You could also use networktables and print to the smartdashboard

You'd be surprised (though I shall say nothing as I aim not to provide un-researched claims of the Driver Station and the roboRIO)

have you tried DriverStation.reportError?

I have tried that, but i am being thrown a lot of warnings/errors.

Code:

CTRE CAN Recieve Timeout at edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.hal.CanTalonJNI.GetAppliedThrottle(Native Method)

edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.CANTalon.get(CANTalon.java:577)

edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.CANSpeedController.updateTable(CANSpeedController.java:159)

edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.CANTalon.updateTable(CANTalon.java:1773)

edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.CANTalon.initTable(CANTalon.java:1765)

edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.livewindow.LiveWindow.initializeLiveWindowComponents(LiveWindow.java:86)

edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.livewindow.LiveWindow.setEnabled(LiveWindow.java:108)

edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.IterativeRobot.startCompetition(IterativeRobot.java:101)

edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.RobotBase.main(RobotBase.java:241)

My code is

Code:



String DSPrint;



protected void execute () {



if (Robot.oi.driver.getRawButton(8) == 1)

{

DSPrint = Button On;

DriverStation.reportError(DSPrint, false);

}



else

{

DSPrint = Button Off;

DriverStation.reportError(DSPrint, false);

}



}

Any ideas?
