Sensor data on dashboard

[dragons3975]

I`m trying to get accelerometer data on the frc dashboard. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks

I'm not looking at 2014 code at the moment, but the Getting Started window has a tutorial button on the left. The sixth tutorial or so should be about customizing the dashboard. That should give detailed instructions.

The general steps are to create a dashboard project, add your indicator to the panel, and on the robot read the sensor and write to a SmartDashboard variable.

Variables on the dashboard will automatically be bound by name if they are on certain tabs. Others are read in the top loop and written to the terminal.
