Robot Code

[ahudson]

I had a good connection with my robot while tethered, but when I tried to go wireless it said there was no Robot Code. When I tried to go back to tethered it still said there was no Robot Code. Please help diagnose our problem.

First, can you ping 10.x.x.1 (with xx being your respective team), 10.x.x.2 and 10.x.x.4 ?

As silly as this sounds, make sure everything is plugged in. Then rebot the crio and download code.

How do you ping?

[Alan Anderson]

At a command prompt, simply type the command.
ping 10.31.79.1

If the Driver Station Communication light is green, but the Robot code light is red, then it isn't a communication problem. Both wireless & tethered are doing their job correctly.
Check the other DS statuses under the Diagnostics tab to see what the Driver Station can ping. Green = successful pings are happening all the time.

If Communication is good, then look at your code deployment.

Ok when I try to run as start up it says the real time target has not been built Also it says the Lab view Vi's are in evaluation mode

You need to activate your installation of LabVIEW to get out of "Evaluation mode"

You can do that through Start -> National Instruments -> NI License Manager

You need to be connected to the Internet.

In the License Manager look for a half yellow box. A little popup "Activate..." to click on will appear if you mouse over it.


Here's a picture showing you where to find Build.

You "Build" first, then you "Run as startup" to put it permanently onto the robot.
