Sending Dashboard grid countdown timer to RossTalk channel

  • 1.  Sending Dashboard grid countdown timer to RossTalk channel

    Posted 8 hours ago
      |   view attached

    I have a DashBoard panel which counts down from current time to a target time set by a drop-down selector.

    I've attached the current grid file as text for detail

    The resultant countdown time appears in orange numbers in a panel above the selector. as per this image;

    Dropdown selection of target countdown time

    I would like to take that resultant countdown and send it to a RossTalk channel which I could then pick up on our ultriscape to populate a display clock.

    I was thinking of something along the lines of
    <task tasktype="rosstalk">rosstalk.sendMessage('server IP', server port, 

    that's where I get stuck. I'm unsure of what to define to be sent to just get the counting numbers to send and where in the attached code to place the task.

    Am I in the right ballpark & can anyone help me get that final step sorted? 

    Thanks
