How to print to the console in eclipse java programming FRC 2015
In past years my team, 3506, has used netbeans to programs our robots, but with the addition of the roborio we have been forced to switch to using Eclipse. We shortly found out that you can't print to the console (at least not obviously) and we are stuck with printing to the SmartDashboard which none of us fully understand. I should mention that we are using a command based robot so one of our problems with the SmartDashboard is we do not always know which of the many classes we should use to put the data. Does anyone know if it is possible to print to the console, or something else, or where we should use SmartDashboard?
