Digital #1 outputs not displayed in dashboard

The outputs from digitial #1 sidecar are not displaying on the dashboard. We are particularly interested in the pwm cable outputs to the speed controllers and the dashboard is not displaying the signal strength. Relay states and GPIO states are not also displayed.

See http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/go/artf1439 for a description of the bug and the solution.

How do we fix this problem if we are using Wind River? Warning we are rank rookies here. We have things running but nothing displays on dashboard .

You can use LabVIEW to make the code change and rebuild the dashboard. Or you can ask that someone send you a corrected Dashboard.EXE that you simply place in the Program Files/FRC Dashboard folder.

At least in previous years (I haven’t checked this year), the default c++ project did not send dashboard data. There was an example project which shows how to send dashboard data.

The LabVIEW problem is on the robot side and only affects teams using LabVIEW on their robot.

Joe is right. The bug is in the Build Dashboard. It shouldn’t even be necessary to rebuild the dashboard. My mistake. Instead look at whether your code is sending values back and if the dashboard is displaying is correctly.

after reading this, i have found that our team is having the same issue. Did you guys come up with a fix for this?

my team uses java and we are having the same issue.

The java default projects do not update the dashboard. Look at the DashboardExample.

A picture is worth a 1000 words.





oh, thanks i thought the java defaults update the dashboard but now that i see that it doesn’t i will change it, thanks.
