We’ve always used the Default. I’m familiar with the Default. Is there a reason to use the other ones?
I have used default and shuffleboard, and shuffleboard is extremely nice and easy to use, fully customizable about what you put on it, how big the display is, and everything. Highly recommend shuffleboard

The default is super easy to learn (at least for me). How is the shuffleboard?
For debugging things I find it very useful, just call SmartDashboard.putNumber(name, value); and you can visualise that number on the Shuffleboard as either a graph, number bar/slider, dial, etc.
Similar is true for booleans and strings.
The shuffle board works as drag and drop, ie you have a list of all the values you’ve put into NetworkTables (via SmartDashboard.put…, or other methods) and you can drag and drop them on and rearrange them.
You can also visualise mechanisms with the correct plugins, the default plugins include a ‘widgit’ for various things like gyro, or even how a Mecanum base should be moving.
I’ll get some screenshots shortly.
Shuffleboard worked nicely for us last year; however we did encounter a strange problem where if left open for long periods of time, it would steadily increase its RAM usage which lead to our driver station having latency issues during some matches. Anyone else experience this?
