RoboRio w. LabView + daughterboard: configuring NetworkTables?

[Jonathan L.]

The attached shows how to Write or Read a Network Table Variable in LabVIEW from the roboRIO or Dashboard code.

A list of active Network Table Variables is displayed on the LabVIEW Dashboard by default.

The Power Distribution Panel is only a sensor of current; it is NOT controlled by anything. To use a motor you must use a motor controller. Or to use a servo (at least a normal one) you connect it to a PWM port on the roboRIO.

R73 restricts actuators from being controlled by anything else than the roboRIO as you said.
