Finally getting around to updating this post after Waterford, MI district tournament.
Alan, I took your basic idea and proceeded. I was able to run the original cRIO by returning to an earlier version of the team program - so everything operates as expected, although it seems like I need to fight with the original cRIO more in order to update the firmware and download team code.
The primary difference between the earlier version and the latter versions are the size of the autonomous program. Earlier, I had 15, individual one second structures(term?) like the example code in a sequence. For latter versions, I added 3 more copies of the first and began making modifications. With the 4 versions of the autonomous sequence I suspect I maxed out memory and/or throughput.
Does anyone have a simple means of determining if I maxed out memory on the original cRIO?
