Re: Getting Driver Station Inputs on Dashboard

What data is it you are wanting to speed up?

The I/O values are sent from the robot just once or twice a second. This was done primarily to keep the CPU load a bit lower. Reading every single analog, digital, solenoid, relay, and servo at 50Hz is a bit expensive. If you rewrite the team code for the dashboard data, you can easily read the I/O faster and only read the I/O actually being used. If it is other robot data, you can send it back as often as you like, and the lag should be way less than 100ms, probably more like 50ms.
