This snippet shows how to read variables from your roboRIO and display them on your custom Dashboard.  It reads the current X, Y, and Z values of the built-in accelerometer and writes them to the SmartDashboard.  The SmartDashboard entries are then read in the PC Dashboard and displayed on a Waveform Chart.

For more information, check out the tutorial from 2014;
