Re: What Dashboard is your team using?

- graph widget is bad, no support for USB camera. To solve these we used a graph widget plug-in (from 1768 -https://github.com/Nashoba-Robotics/SmartChart) and made our own USB camera widget using code from the old dashboard
- It's very resource intensive
- It has some minor glitches such as not being able to edit widgets inside certain containers, and it often fails to save your layout with no visual feedback

We haven't used the labview dashboard since we used labview
thank you for your response.
can you please add a small code snippet as an example of how to use the SFX dashboard? maybe something simple like how to display a variable or how to put a PID configuration widget
