SmartDashboard¶

class wpilib.SmartDashboard¶

Bases: pybind11_object

static clearPersistent(key: str) → None¶

Stop making a key’s value persistent through program restarts. The key cannot be null.

Parameters:: key – the key name

static containsKey(key: str) → bool¶

Determines whether the given key is in this table.

Parameters:: key – the key to search for
Returns:: true if the table as a value assigned to the given key

static getBoolean(keyName: str, defaultValue: object) → object¶

Returns the value at the specified key.

If the key is not found, returns the default value.

Parameters:

keyName – the key
defaultValue – the default value to set if key doesn’t exist

Returns:

the value

static getBooleanArray(key: str, defaultValue: object) → object¶

Returns the boolean array the key maps to.

If the key does not exist or is of different type, it will return the default value.

Parameters:

key – The key to look up.
defaultValue – The value to be returned if no value is found.

Returns:

the value associated with the given key or the given default value if there is no value associated with the key

@note This makes a copy of the array. If the overhead of this is a concern, use GetValue() instead.

@note The returned array is std::vector<int> instead of std::vector<bool> because std::vector<bool> is special-cased in C++. 0 is false, any non-zero value is true.

static getData(keyName: str) → wpiutil._wpiutil.Sendable¶

Returns the value at the specified key.

Parameters:: keyName – the key
Returns:: the value

static getEntry(key: str) → ntcore._ntcore.NetworkTableEntry¶

Returns an NT Entry mapping to the specified key

This is useful if an entry is used often, or is read and then modified.

Parameters:: key – the key
Returns:: the entry for the key

static getKeys(types: int = 0) → List[str]¶

Parameters:: types – bitmask of types; 0 is treated as a “don’t care”.
Returns:: keys currently in the table

static getNumber(keyName: str, defaultValue: object) → object¶

Returns the value at the specified key.

If the key is not found, returns the default value.

Parameters:

keyName – the key
defaultValue – the default value to set if the key doesn’t exist

Returns:

the value

static getNumberArray(key: str, defaultValue: object) → object¶

Returns the number array the key maps to.

If the key does not exist or is of different type, it will return the default value.

Parameters:

key – The key to look up.
defaultValue – The value to be returned if no value is found.

Returns:

the value associated with the given key or the given default value if there is no value associated with the key

@note This makes a copy of the array. If the overhead of this is a concern, use GetValue() instead.

static getRaw(key: str, defaultValue: object) → object¶

Returns the raw value (byte array) the key maps to.

If the key does not exist or is of different type, it will return the default value.

Parameters:

key – The key to look up.
defaultValue – The value to be returned if no value is found.

Returns:

the value associated with the given key or the given default value if there is no value associated with the key

@note This makes a copy of the raw contents. If the overhead of this is a concern, use GetValue() instead.

static getString(keyName: str, defaultValue: object) → object¶

Returns the value at the specified key.

If the key is not found, returns the default value.

Parameters:

keyName – the key
defaultValue – the default value to set if the key doesn’t exist

Returns:

the value

static getStringArray(key: str, defaultValue: object) → object¶

Returns the string array the key maps to.

If the key does not exist or is of different type, it will return the default value.

Parameters:

key – The key to look up.
defaultValue – The value to be returned if no value is found.

Returns:

the value associated with the given key or the given default value if there is no value associated with the key

@note This makes a copy of the array. If the overhead of this is a concern, use GetValue() instead.

static getValue(keyName: str) → ntcore._ntcore.Value¶

Retrieves the complex value (such as an array) in this table into the complex data object.

Parameters:: keyName – the key

static init() → None¶

static isPersistent(key: str) → bool¶

Returns whether the value is persistent through program restarts. The key cannot be null.

Parameters:: key – the key name

static postListenerTask(task: Callable[[], None]) → None¶

Posts a task from a listener to the ListenerExecutor, so that it can be run synchronously from the main loop on the next call to updateValues().

Parameters:: task – The task to run synchronously from the main thread.

static putBoolean(keyName: str, value: bool) → bool¶

Maps the specified key to the specified value in this table.

The value can be retrieved by calling the get method with a key that is equal to the original key.

Parameters:

keyName – the key
value – the value

Returns:

False if the table key already exists with a different type

static putBooleanArray(key: str, value: List[int]) → bool¶

Put a boolean array in the table.

Parameters:

key – the key to be assigned to
value – the value that will be assigned

Returns:

False if the table key already exists with a different type

@note The array must be of int’s rather than of bool’s because std::vector<bool> is special-cased in C++. 0 is false, any non-zero value is true.

static putData(*args, **kwargs)¶

Overloaded function.

putData(key: str, data: wpiutil._wpiutil.Sendable) -> None

Maps the specified key to the specified value in this table.

The value can be retrieved by calling the get method with a key that is equal to the original key.

In order for the value to appear in the dashboard, it must be registered with SendableRegistry. WPILib components do this automatically.

Parameters:

key – the key
data – the value

putData(value: wpiutil._wpiutil.Sendable) -> None

Maps the specified key (where the key is the name of the Sendable) to the specified value in this table.

The value can be retrieved by calling the get method with a key that is equal to the original key.

In order for the value to appear in the dashboard, it must be registered with SendableRegistry. WPILib components do this automatically.

Parameters:: value – the value

static putNumber(keyName: str, value: float) → bool¶
