To test your code on your own computer, make sure you have the robotpy eclipse plugins https://github.com/robotpy/robotpy-e...ster/README.md. Then, in the eclipse menu bar, click WPILib, then Run Simulation Smartdashboard. This will let you see the ultrasonic sensor change based on the value you change in the simulator.

I wrote some code that would interpret the distance and then display a red, yellow or green light on the remote machine. I saw in the link you sent me(robotpy one), you could import networktables so I was wondering if I could use that in the program I wrote, not needing to go through the smartdashboard? In summary, I just want to use the info from the sensors to input in my wxpython program. Thanks!
