Need help with Driver Station User Message
I may have missed something, but i thought the User Message box displayed in the bottom right of the classmate driver station is for our own information display. Such as values that aren't being displayed in the dashboard above. (For example verification of correct Autonomous mode selected)

Last year we accomplished this with the help of the DashboardLCD class.

If we can still print to the User Message box does anyone know how?
I tried looking at the 'Dashboard packer' but it there does not seem to be a place in either cluster constructs for that user message. Though i may have missed it.

Thanks in advance for any help or clarification.
