Re: SmartDashboard problems

Quote:
I have one other question. I do not seem to be able to write items to the SmartDashboard when operating in 'Test' mode (it only works in Autonomous, Teleop, and Practice). When I switch to 'Test', the SmartDashboard goes blank, and does not display any of my data. Is there a reason for this?
Which language are you using?
If you use Java (or C++ I think) and the command based robot, the subsystems should come up onto the Smartdashboard when in test mode. You can see sensor/motor values for each subsystem. More details here:

Also one other thing I noticed is that if you have two computers connected to the robot at the same time, and they are both running SmartDashboard, the info will only display on one computer.
