FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a live telemetry dashboard for an FTC robot?

Yes, you can tune FTC OpMode variables in real-time using the Configurables plugin, which integrates with the Panels dashboard to adjust parameters live during development and on-robot runs without redeploying code.

Can I visualize sensor data and monitor battery voltage during FTC debugging?

Yes, the Capture plugin enables you to record debugging sessions and monitor telemetry data for offline analysis, allowing you to review FTC robot performance and sensor behavior after development runs.

Does the FTC telemetry dashboard support PID tuning and performance monitoring?

The FTC telemetry dashboard supports PID tuning and performance monitoring by integrating Telemetry, Graph, and Configurables plugins to visualize live data, tune parameters, and persist configurations during debugging sessions.

What is the best way to monitor FTC robot telemetry without extra hardware?

The best way to monitor FTC robot telemetry without extra hardware is using a software dashboard that visualizes live data and sensor readings over the network, enabling real-time PID tuning and performance tracking directly from a computer.
