outputting data to DS's usermessage

[yoyodyne]

We had the same problem so we replaced each instance of kLineLength with 21 in WPiLib and recompiled WPiLib. Not an ideal solution but it works. We have to modify WPiLib anyway to fix other problems and to get it to calibrate the gyro and one of the accelerometers in parallel and added a method so we could get the gyro rate to support a closed loop "arc turn".

I am still interested in seeing an example of how to use the Printf function to print to the dashboard user data so we can use the logging function since we are using the serial port for the jag CAN bus, not the driver station LCD. When we try to add the Printf output to the high or low priority dashboard packer we get errors in the DS display. I guess it's time to bite the bullet and figure out exactly how the data structures are configured. Does anyone know if there is documentation on this besides looking at the DS labview code?

Thanks,

Greg
