Update!
 

Dont know if it's really even worth mentioning but the LV update has been updated to 3.1
not sure what the differences are just thought i'd let you guys know

Re: Update!
 

That was released January 8, almost a month ago. Old news ?

Re: Update!
 

Update 3.0 was released January 8, Update 3.1 was released yesterday. NI didn't update the release date on their website

Inside the zip file is a readme that says what they changed.

Make sure you install the v27 cRIO image that was included with the update.

According to http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/2261 the FRC LabVIEW update was 3.1 back on January 8th... and I don't see any new information on the Software Updates page: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr....aspx?id=18758

Re: Update!
 

Was this officially announced somewhere? I thought I was paying close attention to the information flood :ahh:

Re: Update!
 

If you are connected to the internet when you start LabVIEW, There's a release announcement in the upper right hand corner. Updates for all three languages were released yesterday.

I'd guess it will probably be mentioned in today's team update.

Re: Update!
 

That is a bit unsettling.

Re: Update!
 

It's up there now.

Re: Update!
 

It was up there before.

But they didn't update the release date.

It still says

Bug Fixes and Updates

The 3.1 update includes the following bug fixes and updates:

* Allows your robot to communicate with the FRC Field Management System.
* Allows you to build applications using the licensed IMAQ VIs.
* Enables the Data Entry page of numeric controls to update properly in LabVIEW 8.6.1.
* The NI Example Finder includes examples for Vision and for the linear encoder sensor.
* The default value of the LED toggle rate global variable in the Robot Global Data VI changed to a 10 millisecond loop delay.
* The Begin VI in the FRC cRIO Robot project includes the DIO Open VIs so that IR sensors work as expected.

Known Issues

The 3.1 update includes the following known issues. This list might not include all known issues for this update.

* When you use more than one encoder, the rate indicator does not update for all encoders. To avoid this behavior, write your own encoder rate code.
* LabVIEW hangs if the CONSOLE OUT switch on the CompactRIO device is on while you use the black Jaguars motor controllers with the CAN bus.
* The LabVIEW Help does not contain detailed help for the CAN API, the MotorControl Enable VI, and the MotorControl Disable VI. Visit the NI FRC Community Web site to access available FRC training material.
* The GetSpeed VI on the MotorControl VIs palette changed to the GetOutput VI, but the LabVIEW Help does not reflect this change.

Re: Update!
 

But all of this stuff includes the 3.0 update not the differences between 3.0 and 3.1 which is in the file

Re: Update!
 

Do we need to create a new FRC cRIO Robot Project after applying this update or are we still good?

Re: Update!
 

No, all of what you quoted is new to the 3.1 update. The only thing wrong in the readme is that this one item:

"LabVIEW hangs if the CONSOLE OUT switch on the CompactRIO device is on while you use the black Jaguars motor controllers with the CAN bus."

has actually been fixed.

Re: Update!
 

No, your existing project will work. But you do need to reimage the cRIO first.

Re: Update!
 

Sorry about the release date not being changed. We'll fix that. This is a required update that you need.
