Re: Watchdog problem - please help me diagnose and fix

Thanks, I'll stop worrying about the watchdog expiration notice.

There's still a problem though. Our network looks like this: We have our D-Link DAP 1522 configured as an Access Point according to these instructions with no security. We have our cRIO connected by ethernet to port 1 of that, and our computer connected to some other port using an Ethernet cable. During testing we usually use a wired connection to eliminate network problems, unless this interferes with what we're trying to do.

I'm sorry, still no copy-paste of the error log - I forgot to post in this thread when we tested it yesterday and I'm back at home again.


Some questions I'd like answered just to calm my mind:
1. In what position should the physical switches on the cRIO be?

2. Is there a place where I can download LabView and all the FRC tools and updates? I have the serial of course, and the CD as well, but for some reason I don't trust it... Call it paranoia.

3. What is the proper way to transfer the program from the computer to the robot?
a. For one-time testing (ie run it once, and when we stop it it's gone from the cRIO)
b. For permenant instllation until replacement (ie for competition) (you can't probe this, right?)
Of course, we know how to do this as well, but again I don't trust that we've been doing it the right way all this time...

Thanks!
If there's a document by FIRST and/or NI that you can point me to that explains some or all of these stuff, please do so
