Re: Adding variables to customize dashboard

To lessen the impact on the cRIO performance, we have a separate loop that runs at about 250 ms which writes all values to the dashboard. This is slow enough for us mortal humans to read the changing values without bogging down the cRIO. We create a local variable that is read in the separate loop. It works very well for us.

Also in the dashboard application, we are explicitly calling the SD Read to get the value from the robot.
