Sorry, I should have followed your instructions exactly ...but it was the end of a long day.
I'll try doing a direct copy of the files...we're a rookie team so we haven't strayed far from the basic command/subsystem robot paradigm (motor controllers, commands and SmartDashboard IO is all we've needed so far)..I'll try later today and seem if following instructions makes it work.
As I said, I'm relatively new to Java and Netbeans..but is there any way to reference our existing robot project, so that copying and pasting of the files doesn't have to be done?
I believe I sorted this out by adding another build option that packages everything into a JAR file...then referenced this JAR file in the Robot Test application. Thus any changes to the actual Robot Code can be seen in the Robot Test by activating the new build option...
This approach seemed to have fixed the reference issues in the Robot Test code...but I may have screwed something else up
While I tested this out, I did get the GUI to display...but very strange behaviour. The widgets were flashing...multiple motor controller outputs on one line. I'll see what I can get sorted out later today.
Thanks a lot for the effort of this, it's a brilliant idea. I'd really like to see the NetTables implemented so that the SmartDashboard can be used.
