Dashboard Best Practices

  1. Keep match-critical data front and center
    Battery, drivetrain status, and any autonomous mode indicators should be visible without scrolling.

  2. Use consistent tab naming
    Example: “Drive”, “Manipulator”, “Vision”, “Autonomous”.

  3. Avoid overloading your network
    Limit high-frequency updates to essential telemetry.

  4. Use color and formatting
    Red = warnings, Green = good state, Yellow = transitional states.

  5. Version your layouts
    Store .json dashboard layouts in version control (/dashboards folder in your repo).

  6. Include operator input visualization
    Add joystick values or button states to help debug driver control issues.
