Getting Smartdashboard 2.0 working

[ktrobotcreator]

Because you got that error and not "command not found" or something similar, I take it you did put it in a separate folder, but I'm just confirming that it does exist there?

When you try to run it, does it create two other .jars, one being sfxlib.jar?

Can you open it when you double click on it?

When you put the file/folder into the C:\\ drive, did you also copy the plugins folder that was originally with it?

Yes it does exist there.

Nothing. That's the reason I started opening it cmd.

Yes, I copied the plugin folder. It came empty though.

Sorry for taking so long to respond.

What version(s) of Java do you have on your computer? For me I got it working once I uninstalled all versions of Java 6 and updated to the newest one (7 update 51).

Where do you even download SmartDashboard 2.0? I can't seem to find a download link for it, and all of the links on the FIRSTForge site are from last year.

You don't need to download it separately; it comes in the sunspotfrcsdk folder that is automatically installed with the Netbeans plugins.

The directory is C:\Users\[Your_Username]\sunspotfrcsdk\tools.

It will be called sfx.zip. Extract it into another folder. I just did mine into a folder called sfx in the tools directory.

See this page for more details. http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...ch-with-the-ds

Hm. Well, what if I'm not using Java? I suspect it's probably in the C++ tools then..

Yup. It's in the WPILib folder of the workbench update. Silly lack of documentation. >_>

Sorry, I thought this was in the Java sub-forum because I was posting about SFX in another thread earlier today. It is still on the site!

"If you have the C++ update installed this is likely C:\Windriver\WPILib\SFX" Under "Locate SFX". Their pictures just show the Java path, but it works the same way.

I updated to 1.7.0_51 and am now getting the follow error:

Is that the only version of java you have on your machine? Use the Java uninstall tool (http://www.java.com/en/download/uninstallapplet.jsp) to check and remove any previous versions.

I got rid of the older versions. It shouldn't matter anyways since that's the version that's in the system PATH.

It shouldn't, but that doesn't mean it doesn't. What if you try reinstalling it altogether (are you using C++ or Java?)? Or try deleting the other files it makes?

Hmm, that is interesting and confusing. Would you mind pasting the sha1sum of sfx.jar, sfxlib.jar and sfxmeta.jar?
Whoa, just testing right now with 7u51 I get a strange error that we only saw on Java 8 but its different to what you have... Would you mind trying with 7u45 if you can?

Using my linux machine that has 7u45 (can't get to the Windows computer I've been testing on today) it spits out the following error code:

Hmm, the latest sums are

could you re-download sfx.zip from here and try again: http://frcbuilder.wpi.edu:8190/job/S...tifact/sfx.zip

[mryfrmr]

Hi, I am getting the same message, and I don't see the sfxlib.jar file in the sfx.zip file downloaded from the above link.
