Update Dashboard data prior to match start

[Radical Pi]

The method to do this is slightly different depending on if you're using SimpleRobot or IterativeRobot, but the idea is pretty much the same. In addition to the Teleop and Autonomous states, there is a Disabled state. You can put the Dashboard calls into this code.

For SimpleRobot: The template Wind River gives you will not exit from Autonomous or OperatorControl when disabled, you'll probably want to change this. Add IsEnabled() to the check for the while loop (ie while (IsOperatorControl()) becomes while (IsOperatorControl() && IsEnabled()). Now, make a new function Disabled(). It should look something like this:

...
void Disabled(void)
{
   while (IsDisabled())
   {
       // Dashboard code goes here
       Wait(0.005); // Adjust this if you'd like to
   }
}
...

IterativeRobot: Much simpler here. The system will automatically transition to DisabledPeriodic() for you. Create that function and put your dashboard code in it (it should come out looking similar to TeleopPeriodic)

Good luck to you
