SmartDashboard Formatting?

Hello All,

I am writing a custom dashboard in Python/Tkinter. To do this, is it possible to hook into the existing TCP 1735 port and use the existing SmartDashboard class on the Robot side? How is the data formatted?

If not, how would I go about writing C++ code on the robot side of things to handle TCP communication over port 1180?

(We are using C++ on a 4-slot cRIO, if that makes any difference.)
