SmartDashboard causing Watchdog errors

[MamaSpoldi]

I would suggest not updating the dashboard everytime through the loop. A person cannot possibly process the change in the values that quickly anyway.

Here is a snippet of code that we use to do this. It is simple and still gives a very prompt dashboard update.

    if (dashCounter == 10)
    {
        // these are the calls to our classes to update the dashboard
        thor->UpdateDash();
        loki->UpdateDash();
        valkyrie->UpdateDash();
       
        dashCounter = 0;
        ds->UpdateLCD();        
    }
    else
    {
        dashCounter++;
    }
