Sending Gyro Information to Dashboard

[mrada6]

First year FRC member in charge of my teams programming department. I am having trouble taking the information for the robots gyro and sending it to the dashboard.

I am able to do a System.out.println() of the gyro information so I know it is reading the information. But i am unable to get it to the GUI of the dashboard. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SmartDashboard.putNumber("Gyro angle", gyro.getAngle());

Read the documentation found here. Don't ask questions like this without spending 5 minutes to read about it in the documentation.

Note that as of last year, the ideal display widget for gyro information ("compass") was broken.

Thank you very much this is what I was trying to do and was unable to do so. I thought the sample code I was using was not working.

Were you able to print the gyro's position to the smart dashboard? The compass feature being broken shouldn't interfere with that.
