SmartDashboard has a bug where you need to press 'Enter' to send a value over to via 'GetString' or something similar -- the Enter key is also the binding to put the robot in Disabled mode.
Team 694 submitted a
patch, but as far as I know, it hasn't been applied to the repository and no file releases have been published on firstforge after the patch was submitted -- the patch was submitted in February 12th, but the last file release was updated in January and the repository in February 4th.
I was able to download a copy of the repo and apply the patch, but I'm fairly new to Java -- I have no clue how to build it. I tried installing NetBeans and building the smartdashboard project, but it complained of unresolved references.
Could somebody either give me instructions on how to build smartdashboard or provide a link to a download of the client with the patch applied?
