Re: Why doesn't the SmartDashboard update?

robotpy has an autonomous selector class that you can point at a directory of .py files and it'll setup a chooser that should work with SmartDashboard.

If you still want to roll your own, check out how it does it: https://github.com/robotpy/robotpy-w...lector.py#L151. Your code looks correct though, maybe there's something else missing...

Additionally, with the latest version of pyfrc (as of a month ago or so?), there's an integrated chooser built into the simulator, using the key '/SmartDashboard/Autonomous Mode'. Run this sample for a cool demo of that working: https://github.com/robotpy/robotpy-w...ful_autonomous
