Re: ZomB Dashboard 0.6: Beta testers wanted
From a programming perspective, you are right that it is comparatively very slow (although Victors update at 10ms, and we use Victors).
I guess speed would matter a lot when using the dashboard for datalogging
I assumed the dashboard would be used on the Classmate during competition. I would always use LabVIEW front panels for IO when debugging, as I just drop the control and set the input on the block diagram of the VI. When deploying (e.g. not doing a full build download reboot cycle) I can see and edit the front panel of the VI in like real time, and even have graphs of data to see. Really helpful when the dashboard data is not enough or when tuning PID loops (I can just type in a new gain, hit enter, and try it again without rebuilding and redownloading)
