Re: Custom Dashboards and the Driver Station Software
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\FRC DS Data Storage.ini
Most people just keep the Dashboard.exe name and replace it with their own program, like you're probably doing.
For instance, create a shortcut for wordpad, rename it "Dashboard.exe", and put it in C:\Program Files\FRC Dashboard.


Greg,
The launch of the DS attempts to start two instances of the dashboard, but the LabVIEW default dashboard only allows one to appear.
Replace the LabVIEW default dashboard with a non-LabVIEW custom Dashboard (or some other program) and you'll get two copies when you launch the DS.

I happen to use wordpad on occasion when I want to copy/paste and save the Diagnostic Tab error messages.
