Overlapping output?
 

Alright, I did a search on the topic, and nothing came up. If there's already been discussion on this, any links would be greatly appreciated. :)

Anyway. Is there an alternative to using a bunch of delayed printf() statements to debug the robot? Some sort of overlapping output would be awesome =P Ideally, I was hoping there was some third party program which displays the values of different variables. Maybe a GUI of some sort for the robot?

If no such program exists, would it be possible to do something along the lines of

while(1)
{
x = someFunction();
clrscr();
cout << x;
}

(Well, that's what I use in my high school comp sci class, anyway :rolleyes: )

Any input / advice would be greatly appreciated :D

How would what you want to do be functionally different from Dashboard? (Yeah, so it's not in a terminal window. You still get the data, and you don't even have to keep the RC tied to the computer.)

Bleric, is your team not coming back to Sacramento this year? I remember talking with two guys from your team named Ryan and Rob. It'd be cool if we could see you all again.

Whoa! That's *exactly* what I was looking for. Thanks a million!

And our team decided to go to Arizona this year, instead of California. I'll tell Ryan and Rob you said hi, though. Maybe we'll see you at nationals. ;) *Crosses fingers*
