Getting Smartdashboard 2.0 working

[virtuald]

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.

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.
