I was going about creating a custom dashboard for our team, since we are using several sensors on our robot this year. I was running low on space, and needed it to fit our larger laptop's screen better, so I changed the VI's window dimensions (within VI properties).
Image 1: shows what the dashboard should look like, when in full screen mode on the driving computer.
Image 2: shows what it looks like when launched (you will notice the entire left-hand pane is missing).
Image 3: shows the window stretched across my two monitors, only then can you actually see the tabbed pane.
The Dashboard has never been easy to customize (one possible reason for switching to Java), but I have to work with it this year. Does anyone have recommendations on what I can do to resolve this issue? And suggestions or tips to keep in mind when making changes to the dashboard? Thanks.
I want my students to learn passion. I want them to care so much about what they are doing that they infect other people with it... be that FRC or anything else. - marshall [more]
