CRiO programming
 

Everything I have read says we can still code for the 4 slot CRiO but not the 8 slot. After installing the 2015 though on a fresh system I am only seeing RoboRio project and no CRiO project. Am I missing something?

We have our 2013 bot we want the new programmers to start programming Monday.

Thanks,

Rich.

From the game manual R56:

So you need a roboRIO. As you've discovered, there is no version of the current control system for a cRIO this year (or last year either, I believe).

If you're a LabView team, you might be able to have your programmers practice on one of your old cRIOs, but if you're Java or C++, there are enough differences (particular in the development environments) that I wouldn't recommend it.

Presumably you have at least one roboRIO? Do you not want to take it off of last year's robot?

Software for 2014 should work for you - the license... well, let's just say it is still valid.

Re: CRiO programming
 

When does this license expire? I've noticed it's the only version so far that hasn't expired at the end of the year.

Re: CRiO programming
 

That license is permanent.

To program for the cRIO:

Launch LabVIEW

Under new, select "FRC RoboRIO project"

In the menu that pops up, change the bubble selection at the bottom to "Arcade Drive Robot - cRIO"

And then you can code.

The issue I've had with the cRIOs is getting the 2015 version of driver station to work properly. I ended up using the one from 2014 when cRIOs were still standard issue. (Arial Assist year)
