Need Help Sending Data to Dashboard

[OldBug]

Hello all,

I'm trying to modify the dashboard .vi to display additional data from the robot, but I'm having difficulty figuring out how to modify the packet definition (on the dashboard end - we're using Java for the Robot code). In the "Dashboard Tutorial 2011" document, it says I need to modify Dashboard Datatype.ctl, but my project doesn't contain this file. Instead, I have a file called DStoPCPacketTypeDef.ctl, which only seems to contain digital data, although I can see single-precision floating point values in the cluster when I look at the Dashboard Main.vi back panel.

Am I just confused? Or do the instructions in the tutorial .pdf not exactly match what I'm supposed to do?

I've installed the update (FRCLabViewUpdate3.0).

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!
