Dashboard in LabVIEW

[Greg McKaskle]

Do the checkboxes in the default dashboard and robot code not work? Do you have more specifics at to what Boolean, which side was reading, which was writing?

I do not know if the checkboxes work because I removed them right off the bat but the sliders work. And the driver station side is the side that works correctly, regardless of the control. It is the robot code side that is failing to pull the data

Checkboxes (i.e. controls) work fine to send information to the robot by clicking on them manually. Indicators work fine to receive information from the robot.

We were reading the keyboard in the Dashboard program and sending a status flag back to the robot. Our tests had the desired keypress controlling a boolean indicator on the front panel, but the robot wasn't reading it. I suppose we should have used a simple Smart Dashboard write function, but we were in the mindset of using unconnected controls and didn't think it through.

Even if you did use a SD write function I am unsure if it would work... we tried the function and STILL had issues
