NI Tookit & Driver Station

[JohnFogarty]

Hello all,

So I'm really familiar with how the Driver Station and Toolkit are installed and where you get them. The NI install DVD that comes in your KOP at the beginning of each season.

I've started a rookie team and we are competing in a pre-season/off-season event this weekend and we don't have access to an NI Install DVD. Is there any other way for me to get a hold of the .ISO or installation files so I can install the toolkit/driver-station & LabVIEW dependencies from the internet?

If not I'll keep asking the local teams if they can find their DVDs.

If you only want the Driver Station, I believe this is the URL you want ...

If you are going to run the default dashboard and use vision, you will also want some dependencies that are on the DVD.

I have found that if you grab the driver station linked above and the FRC utilities the driverstation and dashboard are fully functional even without installing from the labview CD.

Using this method and java, you can actually program and control the robot without needing any of the install disks.
