Re: Dashboard in LabVIEW

Thanks for the reply. I had tried doing that before, and as I did what you suggested, still doesn't work. Although, we have found something interesting that other teams may want to investigate on...

Regardless of where we put a control in the loop or outside of the loop, it still shows up inside the SmartDashboard. Any data type will work like that. HOWEVER, we found that the Boolean Array and Boolean controls have some issues. We can get the numeric, value, string array, string and numeric array SD Write and SD Read.vis to work, yet somehow we have issues with the boolean write and read related datatype. After much evaluation and time looking through this, we believe it to be some issue with the SD Write/Read blocks themselves (just for boolean associated data type). To get around this, we are just going to convert booleans to numeric (Dashboard side) and then via the robot code, convert back into boolean.

If anyone else has this problem or suggests a fix, please post! Thanks for your help!
