roboRIO shipped today
 

I got an email today, 15 minutes before the FirstChoice ordering closed, that our roboRIO and ancillary parts shipped today.

Mine left Kokomo yesterday.
It arrives here on Friday :-)

I got an email at 10:39 am saying my order has shipped, but when I log into AndyMark's website, it shows "partially shipped"

Based on social media posts, I understand they got shipments of roboRIOs, but not the PDP, PCM, or VRM.

I just got ours. They appear to need imaging. I can get to a configuration website that says something like "safe mode: (no software installed)" There is button to upload a *.cfg firmware image. no ssh or telnet or ftp.

I got a ship notification yesterday. The other components are from Cross the Road so it make sense that they have a different ship date.

Unfortunately, mere mortals are probably going to have to wait for kick off to get the 1s & 0s to make it work. :(

Does anyone know a valid username+password combo? I got the ssh server started on ours, but can't seem to find a valid login.

Re: roboRIO shipped today
 

I'd imagine admin/<blank> should be the default.

Thanks, it works!

check out our beta test website for some quick answers to some of the RoboRio related questions.

http://controls.team2168.org

Its still in development, but has a lot of useful information none the less.

As for the image and firmware. That will be provided when you get the FIRST software.

As for now, if you get the safemode, no software message, that means it just has a firmware loaded, and the safemode is a clean default system for debugging purposes.

you can still ssh into the safemode, and all periperials (Ethernet, USB etc. should still work (USB device port driver are on the NI software).

Login should be: admin with blank password (just hit enter)

hope this helps.

Correction: You have to check "Enable secure shell server (sshd)" to get ssh access. I missed that.

Re: roboRIO shipped today
 

Ours just shipped today also.

When we get it, where do we get to software to start developing for it?

Does any distribution media ship with the roboRIO? Will the previously restricted beta software like the roboRIO Eclipse environment be available for download?

Re: roboRIO shipped today
 

The FRC software will be released at Kickoff.
It is still under Beta testing at the moment.

Re: roboRIO shipped today
 

You will receive it in the 2015 Kit of Parts.

Just a note to everyone. The account your program runs in is not ADMIN. LabView will run in LVUSER. I'll have to check to see what C++/Java run in. Please remember LVUSER is a standard user account and ADMIN has root/elevated privileges.

Re: roboRIO shipped today
 

So what's the point in letting us order this early?

We were hoping to set this up and at least load a simple drive program on a spare chassis to get some experience before kickoff.
