Re: custom dashboard questions

Put a control on the VI and run it. Whenever you hit the RUN button in Robot Main, you can adjust the params. in real time (and use the cool graphs and such) with almost no work at all. Just place the control, and connect it on the block diagram. LabVIEW will take care of the rest. When you get it where you want it, right-click and select Data Operations -> Set Data as Default to keep it there. When you build and flash the robot, all of your params. will still be accessible from the code, so you can leave them there and use them for PID tuning and whatnot.
