This Blog entry is the 12th in a series intended primarily for FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams and their mentors.

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
