cRIO Problems
 

I am having trouble reimaging the cRIO. I have set the ip to the correct numbers, and the imaging tool sees the cRIO, but when I go to deploy it, it doesn't work. I next went to the code and deployed that, but it needs the cRIO to be imaged, what do I do??:confused:

Did you connect to the cRIO directly via a crossover cable?

What does "it doesn't work" mean? Does nothing happen, is there an error message, does it complete without error but not result in a working cRIO? Give us some details so we can help you work through the problem.

it ends with an error saying the ip is invalid or the ethernet connection is bad. which i have checked both, ten times

Re: cRIO Problems
 

Make sure to set the ip address on the computer to 10.te.am.9 and subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 before you image the cRIO

You're from team 4166, right?

There's a serious lack of details in what you're telling us. I'm going to assume you're using a computer that isn't your driver station, but I might be guessing wrong. If I'm right, your computer should be at IP address 10.41.66.6 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 in order to run the cRIO Imaging Utility properly (if instead you are using the driver station laptop, set its address to 10.41.66.5). Disable all network interfaces except the one you're using to connect to the cRIO. Make sure you don't have multiple addresses configured for the connection.

You can help us narrow down the possible problems by copying the output of running the ipconfig command and posting it here. A picture of what the screen looks like when it's showing you the error would be useful as well.

I wouldn't recommend saying things you are unsure about:rolleyes:

Re: cRIO Problems
 

That's not a very good attitude to take towards the people trying to help you.

Before you post on the forums (especially in regards to your other threads, of which you have two asking the same question that's answered by FIRST in the tutorials) try to figure out the answer to your own question. Failing that, provide a detailed explanation of what you're doing, what you've tried, what went wrong, and what you expect to be happening. We can't help you based on telling us "it doesn't work," and many simply won't help you after seeing posts like ^ that.

The reason I posted that is I prefer not to be known by a team. I like to be known as unknown

Re: cRIO Problems
 

I sometimes make dum posts, like the one above and do not want it on my team...

Re: cRIO Problems
 

Katsauga, press the windows key on your keyboard or click the start button in the lower left-hand corner of your screen. Next type 'cmd' in the search programs and files bar, press enter once you have typed it. Now I want you to type 'ipconfig /all' in the window that pops-up and press enter. Copy and paste the text it spits out as a reply to this post.

Thanks!

You're not unknown. You've identified yourself by name and by location, and there's only one team there with you as a member. Since many of the potential problems you're likely to encounter as a programmer require you to use your team number as part of the configuration, it's an important bit of information in order for you to get good assistance.

I would also find it helpful to know what grade you're in so I have a way to gauge your likely level of experience with certain ideas. If you're in 8th grade and you're the team's lead programmer, for example, that would tell me that you probably don't have a lot of programming support from more seasoned members of the team, and that you probably need a lot of extreme detail in any instructions you receive. If, on the other hand, you're a high school senior, then I can probably assume a level of knowledge and maturity that would make general advice and pointers to additional information more appropriate.
