Re: Aquiring Sensor Data

You have to understand what the Dashboard is doing - it is sniffing the communications between the OI and the RC. The sensor data doesn't get transmitted between the RC and the OI.

However, there are 6 user bytes in the communications stream (the UserByteX bytes, where X is 1 through 6) that you can fill in yourself in order to get your data up to the OI. In your robot code, you need to fill in the data into the user bytes. Then, in your LabVIEW code, you can read those user bytes. And VIOLA! You've just gotten your data up and you can display the data.

If you need more of an explanation, just let me know.
