SmartDashboard SFX Help
 

This is our team's first time really implementing SmartDashboard. I'm a little confused as to how it functions and how to put values onto it. Any resources apart from the screen steps would be great to know about. Thank you!

The screen steps here explain it very well.

Don't ask questions like this until you have read the documentation. If you read the docs for 2 minutes I guarantee all of your questions will be answered.

I have actually thoroughly read through the documentation; I just don't find it very helpful. That's why I am asking for alternative resources. Perhaps those will be of greater help.

SmartDashboard just uses a table of key (name) value pairs sent over the network from your robot. When you put data into the table it automatically creates a widget to display the value. Widgets can also display other things (like a MJPEG camera stream) and be deleted, moved and resized. That's about it!

If you want to print out a number, for example, you would type

Then, run SmartDashboard.jar and you should be able to see those values.
