Re: Classmate is not changing numbers or colors HELP!!
If I remember correctly (and it's been a while), the dashboard (the top half of the driver station GUI) only displays data that you explicitly send it. The default dashboard happens to show GPIO, PWM, etc, but just setting the robot outputs doesn't cause the dashboard to show them.

How you send the data to the dashboard obviously depends on which programming language you're using on the robot. For Java/C++, take a look at the Dashboard class and the dashboard section in the WPILib user guide.
