Does anyone know if the FMS sends data even after position control on the wheel is set? I’m just trying to code LED driver communication and was wondering if the FMS stops sending after the wheel has been set to the correct position.
I believe FMS only sends the position color once to all the robot Driver Stations at the same time.
It’s not a repeated broadcast.
The FMS sends data once per match, after one alliance reaches CAPACITY for Stage 3. It will then be accessible for the remainder of the match. Therefore, if you read the FMS data after you’ve set the CONTROL PANEL to the correct position, you will continue to read the required color.

Thank you. That exactly what I needed.
FMS sends at least three ^ Game Data strings per match.
At initialization it sends “Game Specific Data” to set the value null.
next during teleop once the first alliance reaches stage 3 capacity FMS sends “Game Specific Data#” where # represents the color of the wheel sent, either R,Y,G,B.
Then immediately FMS sends a confirmation string “Info roboRIO: Game data update “#” received by Robot” confirming receipt of the color sent to the alliances.
^ I say at least three strings, because FMS may request an optional confirmation of the initial null-setting command was sent, immediately after the first command.
