Re: Classmate question

Put your robot up on blocks so it doesn't run away and then try holding down a button or pushing forward a joystick for a long time (2-3 sec). See if the value shows up then on your Classmate.

We have seen this happen (at least with LabVIEW) and we are guessing that it's because the robot only sends dashboard data some of the time to save on processing power. Every 50 calls it only sends certain things about once. We wanted to update faster, so we went into the build dashboard data VI and added some extra calls for certain cases that we wanted sent more often (digital, a custom case). We have not tested this yet (robot isn't ready), so it may not work. It might slow down the robot/driver station too much. But maybe this is your problem.
