NI posted more info and CAD models. https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-30419

Any word on a display booth for the roboRIO being put up in St. Louis?

Re: cRIO 2015 : NI roboRIO
 

I haven't seen anything yet about a display, but the App shows a Q&A on the FRC Live Stage at 3PM on Thursday and 10AM on Friday.

This looks very impressive. reminds me a bit of the old IFI system, but with so many more ways of attaching, well, whatever you want!

Looking forward to finding out when we can get our hands on them.

There is a workshop scheduled for C++ and Java on the roboRIO: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...nd-conferences
Nothing listed for LabVIEW, but I'm sure the NI booth will have info.

In the NI doc it says the roboRIO will be available for purchase in December, for ~$450

Any way to tell NI that their Creo CAD file isn't compatible with student versions of Creo?

Re: cRIO 2015 : NI roboRIO
 

I left a comment on the roboRIO page about the CAD incompatibility.

Re: cRIO 2015 : NI roboRIO
 

I would presume the LabVIEW sessions at 6:00 and 7:00 would include roboRIO information. It would be pretty bizarre to have a workshop focused on programming for the cRIO.

Re: cRIO 2015 : NI roboRIO
 

From my understanding, the LabVIEW training sessions are modeled after the presentations posted here: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-33629
These are for the cRIO. The abstracts for the workshops make them sound more like an introduction to the LV development environment, with specific examples / tips pertaining to FRC framework, than new stuff for the roboRIO.

Their FAQ says
Was hoping to have it a little earlier in the fall to play with. More anxious than concerned about working with the new system. Seems like it should be a pretty smooth transition.

Re: cRIO 2015 : NI roboRIO
 

Not really. You are technically above the rated input voltage but we took care to cover this as teams may accidentally do that.

Re: cRIO 2015 : NI roboRIO
 

You just did :). I'll see what can be done. What version are teams using?

Re: cRIO 2015 : NI roboRIO
 

Swing by the area around pit admin. You might see something!

Re: cRIO 2015 : NI roboRIO
 

Creo Academic. The error message specifically is that the part was created with a commercial version of Creo and therefore won't work in the academic version. It's pretty easy to get around though, as a step file is included and Creo has no problem converting those. In fact, I'd almost say the STEP version is better, as it imports as an assembly with the pins as separate parts from the body, which is nice for doing wiring in Creo. Thanks! Can't wait to see the production model in person during the 2015 season!

WPI is going to have a small demo bot using the new control system at championship. It's really cool.

My favorite part is the new radio, but that bit still isn't finalized.
