Here is a picture, I am using the configuration file to load a value and place in the control using a local variable. I see the value get updated in the control but the new value does not seem to trigger a value change event to notify the network table to send a new value. I will try to use a property node to see if that works.
What I have is the ability to upload a set of parameters based on the driver hitting F2 or F3 to select long or short shooting. This updates a set of values that then I wanted to send to the cRIO in place of sending multiple sets and having the cRIO decide which set to use.
If I can not programmatically send data to the cRIO, then I will have to resort back to sending all the sets of data to the cRIO and then use buttons or something to tell the cRIO which set to use. Seems like this should be easily handled in the dashboard, but have not found any examples of programmatically sending a variable to the cRIO.
