There's some documentation about the SmartDashboard here: http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/3120/m/7932 |
What about not just using SmartDashboard? For example, using the regular dashboard with NetworkTables? How do you create a client on the cRIO to connect to it?
EDIT: Brad replied with it, thanks
Brad, thank you for finally getting this documentation up. NetworkTables looks like a powerful resource, but without documentation like this it was virtually unusable. Thank you so much for finally getting this up, so far it looks like it's exactly what teams need to be able to functionally use NetworkTables and exactly what I was hoping you guys would put out. Hopefully updates to the Java API documentation comes next!
