Need better examples ( which may already exist ) of dashboard code and usage of DS cypress I/O. |
In the
documents section of the WPIlib project, you can find info on computer vision. You will also find many examples of tank/arcade drive and sensor usage in the
Java/C++ documents, specifically the Cookbook and "Getting Started" guides, as well as the WPIlib users guide. WPIlibj (for Java) also comes with multiple sample projects that implement nearly everything on your list.

I believe the Driver Station reports cRIO CPU load in the "Charts" tab on the far right (I forget the actual name).

The SmartDashboard makes data logging trivial. See our Java usage
here. This data is sent to a SmartDashboard .jar that can be downloaded
here, and in settings in that .jar you can save to a .csv. File writing on the cRIO is also standard I/O; google Java 2 ME File I/O.
In sum, documentation for the items you seek exists, but is not perfectly centralized or communicated. The wpilib project on firstforge.wpi.edu is a good starting point, though.
