Re: Weird c-RIO issues

If you use the RUN button to execute your code on the robot, then even after you stop, LabVIEW maintains a connection to the robot for that particular project.
That will cause it to lock out other projects and other LabVIEW development machines.

Usually, the simple answer is to use Disconnect--Right-click in the Project Explorer window on "RT CompactRIO Target(10.xx.yy.02)" and choose Disconnect. If it's grayed out, then a different project or machine is the culprit.
Sometimes you also have to reboot the robot to shake the connection.
It sounds like you may have several machines/projects contending for the cRIO.
