The video is a great demo of some of the SmartDashboard features. I would love to see the next in the SmartDashboard demo video series cover PID tuning using the SendablePIDController. We are attempting this but ran into a problem where we typed in a new value for the P constant in the SmartDashboard PID widget and then hit the [ENTER] key, which of course immediately disabled our robot. It looks as if in your video you also inadvertently disabled your robot by hitting [ENTER]. I'm reading through the forums but haven't yet seen any other discussions on this that help me understand how we can enter data (not just a mouse click) on the SmartDashboard without hitting the [ENTER] key on the driver station. Any suggestions?

Another really, really useful SmartDashboard demo video would be a demonstration of an image targeting extension where the results are communicated back to the robot.
