[RoboticsRocks]

noticed thisin autonomous independent vi.

this is what I saw in begin vi.

I was wondering if someone could tell me more about how this works and how to use it?

Just do what the comment says... Add the names of the auto modes to this list.

Then in your Auto code, check for each of those strings and put the auto code or whatever controls your auto in that case structure.

If that is unclear, please ask more specific questions about how it works.

like this

here's what it looks like in the dashboard front panel after I right click on the white box and click edit items

h

but on the actual dashboard on the white box there's nothing to select, is there a step I didnt do right?

There is no Network Tables connection (as evidenced by the LED that is off on your dashboard). That is likely the reason.

Im new to the Network Tables.

when I turn on the robot assuming the connection is working

will the LED turn on?

[DAQjr]

That's the idea. Are you running the Driver Station? Does anything on your dashboard function?

here's a pic of the dashboard im connected to my teams last year robot and i typed low bar in.

it should work with this years robot code
