How does NetworkTables work?
I'm interested in learning how to get the driver station to interact with the robot and vice versa, and I've been through tons of threads describing how the server code (the robot) should be written and how the client code (the laptop) should be written.
However, there is one crucial detail that I haven't been able to grasp yet: when and how exactly is the client code supposed to be run? Is it supposed to be built in WindRiver as an .exe (is that even possible)? Can I use another IDE such as VC++? Do I have to start running the client code before activating the robot code, and does the client code just run in the background of the driver station? I feel like the solution is extremely simple because no one has brought up this question yet in the multiple threads I've browsed. Any help would be appreciated!
