Downloading Lab view properly
 

I am a new programmer on our team and our old programmer never told me how to load code on to our robot. I have heard of downloading it incorrectly and jamming up the cRio.
Thanks

Re: Downloading Lab view properly
 

Open your team code project.

To download your program permanently, do it from the LabVIEW Project Explorer window:

• Under Build Specifications there is a file listed: FRC Robot Boot-up Deployment
• Right-click on that file and choose "Build" (this will take a few minutes to complete)
• Right-click on that file again and choose "Run as startup" (at the end of this you will be asked to reboot the robot)
• Reboot the robot.

You can also download your code temporarily where it doesn't destroy the code that's already there.
It's an easy way to test changes and still have the previous code run when the robot gets rebooted.

To do that open the Robot Main.vi, then click on the white run arrow in the top menu bar.
The project will download and run while your PC is connected, or until you stop it, or until the robot is rebooted.
