You'll need to create an .exe for your dashboard under Build Specifications, then that can be copied to your Classmate.
Here are three different methods of doing this:
1) If you're developing the dashboard on the same machine:
- Go under Build Specifications
- Right-click on FRC PC Dashboard
- Select Properties
- Change "Target filename" to "Dashboard.exe"
- Change "Destination directory" to "C:\Program Files\FRC Dashboard"
Then when you build, your .exe will replace the existing Dashboard every time.
2) If you're developing elsewhere then you can just copy the exe to the FRC Dashboard directory.
3) Give it a unique name and change the Driver Station ini to point to your Dashboard.
- In the file: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\FRC\FRC DS Data Storage.ini
- Edit the line: DashboardCmdLine=""C:\\Program Files\\FRC Dashboard\\Dashboard.exe"" to point to your dashboard. (be sure to preserve the double slashes in the filename path).
You can combine with method 1) above and give your Dashboard a custom name while having it build right where it's needed.
