Re: Using keyboard
The VIs for reading the keyboard, like a video game does, are located in Connectivity>>Input Devices. Your dashboard will need to open the keyboard and in a loop, it will need to read the keyboard and update one or more "virtual joystick" SmartDashboard globals. I'd recommend doing a flush when setting them or it will only get transmitted to the robot at 100ms rate.
The other way to get the data to the robot is via UDP or TCP communications. You will need to make your own simple protocol, possibly just sending the keys via TCP is sufficient.
