Re: Labview Video Tutorial? Dashboard

I'd recommend grabbing it again, I needed to update some of the error handling code - Team 418's test platform with a 2004 RC/OI is starting to get flaky, and some bytes are getting corrupt every so often. I needed to update the toolkit to better handle getting corrupt data so that you either get good data or nothing at all.

But, anyway, I promised a new tutorial and I'm here to make good on it. I didn't add any voice to this tutorial, but I think it's going to be very easy to follow and understand. What I did was showed you how to use the components from the FRC Robot Modeling toolkit to create a really basic Dashboard, but it's very easy to expand to add much, much more capabilities, especially if you're sending back data via the user bytes. I went through the actual build phase pretty quick, and made a few "uh oh"s that I did correct, but you'll see. I did the whole thing in under 5 minutes, and should be easily reproducible by anyone on your LV programming team. Remember it's assumed that you've installed the FRC Modeling Toolkit.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

To download the tutorial, download the ZIP file and open the HTML page to view the FLASH video.
