We are using Command based Java code and we are having trouble getting a PIDSubsystem to show up in the SmartDashboard LiveWindow when we put the robot in Test mode.

This link shows the PIDSubsystem showing up in LiveWindow and allowing you to edit all the PID controller values but we don't seem to be able to get this to work.

For the original poster, when we put the robot into teleop mode and made the SmartDashboard editable we were able to right-click the PIDSubsystem and select PID editor. This looked like it would allow you to edit the PID constants at least. This was after using SmartDashboard.putData() to send the PIDSubsystem to the SmartDashboard.
