Re: "No Robot Code"

I don't have access to the robot again until next Tuesday (ship day).

When I get access, I can try to get a copy of the code I am having trouble with. Are you talking about FTP'ing the entire root directory from the cRIO?

(I think I'm just going to have to move forward with a C++ project to make sure I have something that works.)

Python seems like a huge win to me though, especially not needing to recompile or restart the cRIO after deploying new code.

(Is there a way with C++ to have the new code start right away when deployed, or do we have to restart the cRIO?)

For the RobotPy situation, I'm using FileZilla to do the transfers mentioned in the README, but it's not clear to me how to do the

Copy the "dist\RobotPy-Core\robot" and "dist\RobotPy-WPILib\robot" directory trees to the root (top level) directory on the robot.

step properly. That may be the only problem.

Or it could be a misconfigured build. I realize now I should have tried the pre-built distribution, but when it wasn't working I just went back to a simple C++ project so we could make a test drive.

Thanks for your help.
