Re: Laptop "Dashboard"

The code on the dashboard and the robot do not have to be written in the same tool. They are connected by a UDP buffer and nothing else. The only provided template was written in LV. Others have been written in C#, Java, and the like, but since this runs on the PC, I don't believe doing this in WindRiver makes sense.

To write data to the dashboard laptop using C++, use the dashboard classes already mentioned. To parse it on the diagram, use the documentation and a PC GUI capable dev tool to take the data out of the buffer.
