Here's an example from our user_routines.c
(make sure you have ifi_aliases.h included)

[edit]Each of these User_Byte1,2,3,4,5,6 are defined in ifi_aliases.h and are all "unsigned char"

User_Byte1 = LeftAmps; 
User_Byte2 = RightAmps;
/* Display the gyro heading byte3 if its negative, byte4 if its positive */
igyrovalue = Gyro_Degrees();
if (igyrovalue > 0)
{
User_Byte3 = 0; 
User_Byte4 = (char) igyrovalue;
}
else
{
User_Byte3 = (char) -igyrovalue; 
User_Byte4 = 0;
}
 
User_Byte5 = 99; // Displays "99" on the dashboard program
User_Byte6 = 254; // No particular reason
