Re: LabView dashboard/live telemetry

While getting a more powerful computer is definitely the way to go, if anyone has problems with the dashboard maxing out CPU, you could try placing a wait inside each of the loops.
You won't recieve telemetry as often, but it should reduce the load on the processor.
(Look at the timed loop at the bottom of the basic robot code for an example.)
