Re: Creating a Custom Dashboard for the Driver Station
Another option is to use the RCP application building part of Eclipse (of which the IDE is just an example) to build a custom dashboard. There are several books with good tutorials for how to do this. You get access to all the GUI features that the IDE presents ... but instead of an IDE, you are building an FRC robot dashboard. Although this probably isn't a good option for rookie programmers in this build season.
