Running Smartdashboard without cRIO/robot?

[byteit101]

If you use the new Smartdashboard (sfx) then you can just write/use a test data source. The built in one just generates sine waves and can be found under Add (+) > Data Sources (the red & gree arrow) and in the top left add a new Test data source, then in the top right save. If you want to do something more complex, the source is here: https://bitbucket.org/byteit101/sfxl...ava?at=default

For anyone who is impatient, you might run through the installation procedure and set up the latest Java, NetBeans, and the NetBeans plugins: http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...elopment-tools

The "Release" versions of the WPI plugins have had some updates in the past week, so these may be pretty close to the latest code.

I didn't see any info on downloading the new smart dashboard. Could you provide the specific link?
