Re: Control in Driver Station/Dashboard
The driver station I/O tab has a number of numerics that are used as indicators if the FT is plugged in. If it is not plugged in, they become controls and the value is automatically sent to the robot. This is in compatibility mode.

As pointed out by some of the beta teams, all languages now implement Network Tables/Smart Dashboard protocol, and that makes it much easier for the dashboard to both display and control values. In the new system, you place the numeric into the Operation tab and label it with the variable name. Then you read it on the robot. The dashboard automatically synchs up all controls and indicators with the robot.
