Really!? Thanks for the info. That would have been a good 'hint' to add in the tutorials.

I tried using SD write number functions to set the indicators(SD values). I hooked up a slider to a write function but the value on the indicators didn't change.

I am not sure I completely understand this part. So should i make the front panel values into local variables or should i update the front panel values with local variables. Doesn't the latter still mean that the front panel variables are still wired?

I am trying to make sure i have a working answer before Monday.

In the mean time is there any other way to send values from the dashboard to the robot?
