Re: Tachometer and Custom Dashboard Help?

The easiest way to present a numeric number is to write to DB/String 0 through DB/String 9. Format the number, any way you, like to a string and write to the variables listed above.

If the range works, you can also write to DB/Slider 0 through 3. There are LEDs and buttons too.

Beyond that, you can make a custom DB. Controls placed in the Custom tab are still bound by name.

The difference between simple and default DB are ...
Default
---------
2nd camera - simple supports just one on the left pane
Test - allows you to view sensor and motor configuration, values, and experimentally modify many values.
Commands - Interactively fire a command for testing
Checklist - Display a text file and support checking them off as part of drive team procedure

Simple
--------
Missing the above features, but the diagram is considerably simpler, therefore a much better template for many to start with.

If you identify that binding or other features don't work, please bring it up.
