I’ve modified the current dashboard to include an indicator for a sensor switch on our robot. When I run the executable in the Developer account, everything shows up fine, but when I log into Driver no Dashboard shows up at all. I overwrote the new Dashboard.exe in the original’s location, so it isn’t a location issue. I looked into the INI in the Shared Documents and saw the filepath was screwed up (it replaced a few letters with zeroes, and switched two letters). Every time I log onto Developer I change it, but after logging in and out of Driver the path is back to it’s screwed-up state. Does anyone have a fix for this, or possibly a link to the original INI so I can troubleshoot before I decide to flash the DS?
Update: I replaced my new Dashboard with an unmodified new Dashboard project. This still did not work, so I think I may have narrowed it down to a Windows Firewall or INI issue.
I was just making a dashboard for our classmate, and at first, I had the same problem. I did change the file directory for the .ini file, and it worked. Were you using LabVIEW, or C++? I was using LabVIEW, but that shouldn’t make a difference because it’s a .exe. The only thing I can think of is if you saved the changes you made to .ini. I hope this helps.
After restoring the Classmate (I couldn’t solve the INI problem), I’ve decided to stick with the default DS, because, after all, it’s just one LED I was changing the size of.
I was having the same problem, changing the path in the.ini file and after the driver station runs it garbles the path up.
I went looking around, then found that the name of the item that specifies the path should be “DashboardCMD Line”, not “DashboardCmdLine” like it was. Changing that fixed it.
