Where are they called from? How quickly are they called? Does rebooting the robot affect anything, or is restarting the driver station application the only thing that makes it work again? |

A note to everyone that doing this to send data back to the DS...
Make sure you aren't running this code CONSTANTLY. Sending new messages and running the updateLCD() method too fast
will run the cRIO out of memory, and my guess is because it backlogs all the packets and fills up the memory. You'll get an OutOfMemoryError, and will have to reboot the cRIO to do anything else (like load new code).
(Found this out the hard way on WPILibJ version 1.0.0a, and my guess is it happens with the latest version too...)
