Re: cRIO Drops connection after deploy

It doesn't seem reasonable to do otherwise (i.e. to do development on a computer but not connect that computer to the cRIO), so it's likely that I don't understand what you mean.

When I run RobotMain initially (run button), the code will deploy properly and function as expected. However, when stopped to edit small details and then redeployed (run button), we encounter an issue. The code will deploy properly, and the grid on the front panel of RobotMain will disappear as if it were running properly.
I'm going to accept your statement about "deploy properly" without asking you to describe exactly what is happening, but if we find out later that there's something going wrong that you think is normal you're going to feel very silly.

How are you stopping execution? Are you clicking the big "Finish" button, or are you using the "stop" icon in the Robot Main window's toolbar?

The "run" arrow should tell you whether it's running or not. If it turns from white to black with "motion" lines, it's running.

When I then switch to the Driver Station,
What does "switch to the Driver Station" mean, exactly?

Quote:
the Robot Code light remains red, and the Communications light turns from green to red. RobotMain will then echo an error, "Communication with realtime target lost".
Does the error occur only after switching to the Driver Station? If you wait before switching, does the error happen later?
