Re: Network Tables Issue

Code:
from networktables import NetworkTable

NetworkTable.setIPAddress("roboRIO-6203-frc.local")
NetworkTable.setClientMode()
NetworkTable.initialize()

table = NetworkTable.getTable("SmartDashboard")
left = table.getNumber("left")
I get the error KeyError: '/SmartDashboard/left'

I'm on the team network and I've confirmed that "left" is being published to the Smart Dashboard. Any reason why this isn't working?
NetworkTables values aren't available instantly, it takes a short period of time to connect to the server and synchronize.
