I'm using the Dashboard that came pre-installed on the Classmate. The title bar states "FRC PC Dashboard".

Is that a different dashboard?

Yeah, it is different. The built in one is LabView based, I believe and the Java SmartDashboard allows for a ton of customization like adding an auton chooser.

Well, that'll be the first thing to check then. Thanks so much!

The LabVIEW version allows for the same customization. You can do what ever you want to do.

You will not be able to communicate with python programs from the LabVIEW dashboard via NetworkTables, as the LabVIEW dashboard is not backwards compatible with NT2 clients, and we haven't upgraded pynetworktables to NT3 yet.
