Re: Dashboard

Getting such feedback from the robot is exactly what the Dashboard connection is for. You have access to six "user bytes" in the code that will be sent over the link from the robot, and you can put whatever you want in them.

If you need more than six bytes of sensor feedback information, you can "borrow" unused pwm outputs and use them to send more bytes of data to the dashboard (note that they won't display a value of 255).
