SmartDashboard

SmartDashboard is a Java-based dashboard application developed by WPILib for the FIRST Robotics Competition. It provides teams with a graphical interface to monitor robot sensor data, send commands, and visualize robot state in real-time during competitions. The tool was designed to simplify robot interaction without requiring deep programming expertise, though it is now deprecated and will be removed in 2027. ## Key Features - **Real-time Monitoring** — Displays live sensor data, motor outputs, and other robot variables through a customizable dashboard. - **Robot Control** — Allows operators to send commands and adjust robot parameters during matches via an intuitive UI. - **Network Tables Integration** — Communicates with robot code using the legacy Network Tables v3 protocol for data exchange. - **Custom Widgets** — Supports drag-and-drop widgets for visualizing data like gauges, graphs, and buttons. - **Cross-Platform** — Runs on any system with Java 11, making it accessible across Windows, macOS, and Linux. ## Philosophy SmartDashboard embodies WPILib's mission to 'raise the floor, not lower the ceiling' by providing an accessible, no-code tool for teams to interact with their robots, while staying out of the way of advanced users who prefer programmatic dashboards.
