Re: Reading input from NetConsole

It seems that the NetConsole was developed primarily for C/C++ users wanting to see output directly from the robot, with the sending function added as an unfinished afterthought. The documentation, as you've discovered, is almost nonexistent. A search on CD turns up nothing regarding sending through NetConsole.
You may wish to try using old-fashioned methods, like the Analog Inputs on the driver station. While tuning our PID loops, we used unused buttons on the gamepad we were using to increment and decrement the values and having the DriverStationLCD read the values itself.
