In this blog entry, I discuss how to customize the default dashboard project. The real benefit here is the opportunity to see whatever internal robot data you want on a computer at the driver station during competition.
I discuss:
How to add to the Dashboard Data Typedef in the robot project
How to modify the Build Dashboard Data.vi to enable or disable the default data transfer and how to save those default values
How to modify the Build Dashboard Data.vi to write custom data
How to modify the default Dashboard project to allow you to resize and scroll the Dashboard VI
How to modify the default Dashboard project to use the same dashboard data typedef as the robot project
How to create indicators to display your custom data
How to replace the default logo with a custom team logo
