Re: Cannot deploy code

Kind of covered this, but thought I'd add a data point.

Our main code computer is a laptop running Windows Vista. We use LabVIEW. We also get sporadic disconnections and other network issues.

Particularly we get the stop waiting and disconnect panel while running or deploying. Usually it goes away after several minutes. Perhaps you need to wait longer.

Others have had good ideas, just thought I'd throw out a possibility.

Re: Cannot deploy code

We have been having this problem a lot lately as well. We tried the following:

- power cycle power
- reset cRIO
- restart LabView
- reboot the computer

On a hunch we checked for services. We restarted the services and power cycled the robot. This seems to be an effective work around for the problem. I am attaching a simple batch file you can run to restart the services.

NOTE: You will need to rename the batch file to remove the .txt extension.

I hope this works for you as well.

At first we could solve it by building and deploying the code (after that it ran fine).
At some point that also stopped working. Someone told us it might be because our flash code gets stuck doing some process. Anyway, we formatted, re-imaged the controller, ran super-simple code on it and now it's fine.
I think it might have gotten stuck because the enable vision was on and the camera wasn't connected. If I find out more about this I will post it here.

Hope this helps...Good luck! :]

This sounds like it could be the problem I reported here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=92533

Re: Cannot deploy code

After working successfully for a few weeks, I could not deploy code.
I re-imaged the CRIO and it would deploy once and then the robot code would never load in the dashboard.

Using wireshark to capture packets I could see that all the CRIO would do was to send an RST (reset) packet back to the driver station.

Looking at the netconsole CRIO app (Must be selected when re-imaging CRIO)
I saw a whole bunch of memory allocation errors about 10 seconds after CRIO reboot.

Turned out to be an FTP session that I started in the begin.vi was the issue.
It somehow used up the heap, still looking into it.
