This is our newest web based FRC Dashboard to 20-21 challange.
Before running your dashboard, you'll need to install the node dependencies by cding into the dashboard directory and running npm install
.
Connect to your robot's network if you haven't already. (If you're just testing the dashboard and don't currently need to use it with your robot, you can skip this step.)
While in the dashboard directory, run:
npm start
This will open the dashboard application. Note that you can refresh the page and client-side updates will take effect; reopening the whole application is usually unnecessary.
It is recommended that while using the dashboard on your driver station, you close the top panel of the FRC DriverStation to make room for the dashboard.
Some users may wish to compile their dashboard applications into standalone .exe
or .app
files.
Assuming the necessary setup steps have been performed, users may run npm run package-[platform]
, where [platform]
is linux
, mac
, or win
according to the target platform, to pack the entire application into a single executable.
