Network tables help

We cannot find network tables files location. We have eclipse and we think we have all the necessary installations. We have the National Instruments update suite. They are not specific on line so we cannot find it.

We are trying to get RoboRealm to send values to the smart dash board & want to verify if the network tables is working.

Earlier post:
RoboRealm network tables is Unable to put information onto smart dashboard.
We do not know if it is RoboRealm or the Smart Dashboard.

Thanks

We have been able to make stand alone Java applications that use the NetworkTable classes by adding the OutlineViewer.jar file found under the %HOME%\wpilib ools directory to the Java compile/build path.

The OutlineViewer.jar file contains both the Java classes and the JNI libraries (.dll, .so) files for running NetworkTables on Windows and Linux Intel machines (it might not work on a Mac or Raspberry Pi ARM chip - we have not tried it on those platforms).

Please don’t do this. The most recent (version 3.1.6) desktop jar is available here. All the releases are available here. The desktop jar will work on Windows x86_64, OS X/macOS with x86_64 (basically every mac since 2008), and Linux x86_64. I don’t remember if it does 32-bit or not. Generic armhf and raspbian versions are also available.

OK. Thanks for the heads up and correction.

I had always been trying to use whatever came with the plugins assuming that would give me the best compatibility (that’s how I discovered the native libraries in the OutlineViewer.jar file). I hadn’t realized that there was a preferred alternative location to download NetworkTables support from.
