Re: Driver Interface

For those of you using NetBeans as an IDE. Create a new project, go to samples, then Java FRC, then pick DashboardExample(possibly slightly out of order). The methods used there will interface with the Dashboard which I believe is LabView based. The basic code supplied there should give you some visual feedback when the driver station is set to tel-op with your analog, digital, io stuff(if I remember correctly). One of the other programmers on my team will be posting that details this code in a tank drive type robot. You can also look at the example code that FIRST provided for dealing with target recognition. It is example code that is used for recognizing Lunacy targets but you should get the general idea of how the AxisCamera is used and how it displays images on the driver station. Hope this helps any and all who are looking for help dealing with the Dashboard. Keep a lookout for a post that has example code that we have prepared for the forums.
