Re: How to Write From SmartDashboard
You have to first put the value to the SmartDashboard before you can get its updated value. So, you call SmartDashboard.putNumber("this is a number", some_default_value), which causes the field to appear on the SmartDashboard. Then you can edit this number in the SmartDashboard GUI, and when you call SmartDashboard.getNumber("this is a number"), it will return the updated value.
