I recommend that you do modify it. You should customize it to show exactly what you want it to.

That's the file I'm talking about. All the commented out sections are examples. You don't need them once you remove the corresponding variable on the dashboard side.

Those are digital inputs... it sounds like you've set up the encoder correctly.

Sounds straightforward. Now you just change the data type to the dashboard.

Start simple. Remove everything from the dashboard data on both the robot and on the dashboard. Add one INT32 to the robot code and to the dashboard... make sure that works, then add in any other data you want to display on the dashboard.
