Python Network Tables Raspberry Pi 2

So the entire code would look like this if you were using the example(This is untested but is similar to what I used before):

import time
from networktables import NetworkTable

# To see messages from networktables, you must setup logging
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)


NetworkTable.setIPAddress("10.XX.XX.XX")#Change the address to your own
NetworkTable.setClientMode()
NetworkTable.initialize()

sd = NetworkTable.getTable("SmartDashboard")

i = 0
while True:
    try:
        print('robotTime:', sd.getNumber('robotTime'))
    except KeyError:
        print('robotTime: N/A')

    sd.putNumber('dsTime', i)
    time.sleep(1)
    i += 1

Just makes sure to change IP address and that should be a working example. Let me know if it still doesn't work!

So if I am running this on a raspberry pi 2 I would put the ip adress of the roboRio? If so should I change the roboRio to a static IP address such as 10.xx.yy.?? --> xx.yy would be team name but what would the ?? be at the end?

Thanks for you help.
