Using SmartDashboard

SmartDashboard is the legacy WPILib dashboard.
It works the same as Shuffleboard — both read from NetworkTables — but SmartDashboard has a simpler interface.

Why It’s Still Useful​

  • Lightweight, good for debugging quickly
  • Default on some older team laptops
  • Works well for simple value displays and camera feeds

Use SmartDashboard.putX() to publish values and SmartDashboard.getX() to read them.
