Are you modifying the Dashboard application? Have you removed all of the unused data fields and added the ones you are interested in? Remember that the data format must match on the robot and in the dashboard or the dashboard will fail to unflatten the string.

We have not, nor do we plan on, modifying the dashboard in any way. Are you talking about the DashboardDataExample.cpp file with all the things commented out? If so, I really do not know what to replace and where to put it. Again, sorry , but I am pretty new to this. The sensor values I want to return are pluged into the digital Sidecar opposite side from where the PWM's to the Jaguars go (I assume these are called "Digital I/O Ports", but there is no label on the Sidecar so i cannot be certain) and the values I want to display are those of the Quadrature Encoders we have on Channels (1,2) and (3,4).
I am working with the default code SimpleTemplate except that it has been switched for Tank Drive, the amount of time moving forward in Autonomous has been changed, and I have declared and initalized the Encoders and #include "DashboardDataFormat.h" . There has been no change to the DashboardDataFormat.h or .cpp, and yes I have copied them into the directory of the project. Also, I just mentioned the battery voltage because I have read posts about teams not receiving this reading.
