Re: Displaying Data on the Front Panel
Three ways to accomplish that:
  1. Use the Dashboard as a virtual LED. It already has examples of that.
  2. Use the Cypress First Touch connected to the Driver Station PC to power a physical LED (WPI Robotics Library->Driver Station->Compatibility IO->Set Dig Out)
  3. Use the Driver Station application I/O tab to see the virtual LED associated with the Cypress.
Cudos for searching first.
It's understandable that the information might be hard to search for when you don't know the custom terms we use for it.
