This is the first year we are doing a dashboard interface, does anyone have any examples to guide us?
Also if anyone has any tutorials, that will be really helpful =)
The default Dashboard is written in LabVIEW. It’s one of the “new project” options in LabVIEW for FRC. Laying out whatever indicators you want is very easy. Adding elements to the Dashboard Data cluster is tedious but straightforward, and once they are there it’s simple to pull out the values and wire them to any indicator you want.
Creating a dashboard data stream from C++ is beyond my area of expertise.
Actually, I was looking for some assistance with streaming data to the stock dashboard from C++ too. I’m actually kinda surprised, the WPIlib changed little enough since last year that my 2010 code still compiles O_O so I’m spending a bit of the time I don’t have to spend relearning the library to get this dashboard working. If anyone has any example code for getting a fully working dashboard output from C++ I’d be very grateful.
I ended up finding this^ after I had left robotics for work. Me and Anoop (Tommithy) will post back when we have something. If anyone else has any other examples, feel free to post!
