Sending Data from Custom Dashboard

We were all rookies once, and we really have two ways to go about things: either take a page from the powerhouses and emulate their style, or complain about not having anything and risk falling into oblivion. - George A. [more]

Re: Sending Data from Custom Dashboard

The easiest way, by far, is to use the existing capabilities built into the Driver Station app.
On the I/O tab, without a Cypress connected, all the switches are usable and can even be re-named.
They all are already available in your robot's code.

Adding a simple UDP send/receive would be one typical path to get data from the Dashboard to the robot.
Another would be to investigate the LabVIEW network tables, a late addition to the FRC LabVIEW source forge project.
