FTC Dashboard

React-based web dashboard for monitoring FTC robots during operation.

Access the dashboard at: http://192.168.43.1:8080 (Control Hub) or http://192.168.49.1:8080 (phone)

Quick Start

Installation

1. Add the Maven repository to build.dependencies.gradle:

repositories {
    maven { url = 'https://maven.brott.dev/' }
}

1. Add the dependency:

// Standard FTC SDK
implementation 'com.acmerobotics.dashboard:dashboard:0.5.1'

// For OpenRC or non-standard SDK
implementation('com.acmerobotics.dashboard:dashboard:0.5.1') {
    exclude group: 'org.firstinspires.ftc'
}

1. Sync Gradle and deploy to robot.

Basic Telemetry

import com.acmerobotics.dashboard.FtcDashboard;
import com.acmerobotics.dashboard.telemetry.TelemetryPacket;

@TeleOp(name = "Dashboard Demo")
public class DashboardDemo extends LinearOpMode {
    @Override
    public void runOpMode() {
        FtcDashboard dashboard = FtcDashboard.getInstance();

        waitForStart();

        while (opModeIsActive()) {
            TelemetryPacket packet = new TelemetryPacket();
            packet.put("loopTime", getRuntime());
            packet.put("heading", imu.getAngularOrientation().firstAngle);

            dashboard.sendTelemetryPacket(packet);
        }
    }
}

Features

1. Telemetry Visualization

Send key-value pairs that appear as live-updating graphs:

TelemetryPacket packet = new TelemetryPacket();

// Numeric values get plotted automatically
packet.put("voltage", batteryVoltage);
packet.put("motorPower", leftMotor.getPower());
packet.put("encoderPosition", encoder.getCurrentPosition());

// String values appear in the telemetry panel
packet.put("status", "Running");
packet.put("targetColor", "RED");

dashboard.sendTelemetryPacket(packet);

2. MultipleTelemetry (DS + Dashboard)

Send telemetry to both Driver Station and Dashboard simultaneously:

import com.acmerobotics.dashboard.telemetry.MultipleTelemetry;

@TeleOp(name = "Dual Telemetry")
public class DualTelemetryOp extends LinearOpMode {
    @Override
    public void runOpMode() {
        // Wrap both telemetry objects
        telemetry = new MultipleTelemetry(telemetry, FtcDashboard.getInstance().getTelemetry());

        waitForStart();

        while (opModeIsActive()) {
            // This now goes to BOTH DS and Dashboard
            telemetry.addData("Heading", "%.2f", imu.getAngularOrientation().firstAngle);
            telemetry.addData("Power", leftMotor.getPower());
            telemetry.update();  // Sends to both
        }
    }
}
