Re: Driver Interface

Just to clarify, the driver station is closed, but can run and communicate to a locally running dashboard that defaults to running on the upper portion of the screen, or communicating to a remote dashboard. These dashboards can indeed be written in any language you like. I'm not sure what templates are out there, but the LV sample code wizard will produce the source for the default dashboard.

To launch a custom dashboard, either name it the same and place it in the same location as the default (Program Files\FRC Dashboard\Dashboard.exe) -- I think that is the location. Another option is to modify the All Users\Documents\FRC DS Data Storage.ini and set the DashboardCmdLine to point to your new EXE.
