[java4first]

Hi -

We want to build an Eclipse RCP dashboard program, and I am trying to figure out the underlying wire protocol that is used by all the pack code (which comes as an example project in NetBeans). I know all about the 'SmartDashboard' and NetWork tables - but I'm looking to latch on to the lowerlevel protocol going from the robot to the driver station itself. I've been down through the the WPILib code, and used Wireshark to capture what would appear to be the messages under UDP broadcast, but it's not jumping out at me. I'm assuming someone who understands LabView programming can probably point me at something that makes this clear (we use Java) ... since two years ago we had someone use LabView to make a dashboard that understood & displayed the data (and the 'default' LabView dashboard used to work - with the LEDs and little bar graph things). If I had until next build season to figure it out - I'm sure I could, but I'm looking for a quick nudge in the right direction.

Thanks in advance!
