Re: Load Problems

Your setup sounds like mine, only mine is an older macbook. It should be fine.

Your DS window is covered, so I can't see the state of communications. The Waiting to Respond message is a generic message when the protocol isn't advancing. It can mean many things.

I can see your project window, and the LED on your target is not lit. This means that the first step is to find and connect to the controller. Once that happens, it asks the controller if it is already running code, what code, please stop and run this code instead, etc. That is the protocol.

My suspicion is that your VM networking may not be correct. Mine sometimes gets wonky when the laptop sleeps. It may be worthwhile to look at the DS Diagnostics screen to see if the ping LEDs next to the robot are lit green or not. You can also break the protocol down a bit and do smaller steps. If you right click on the target and choose Connect, this will only do the first portion of the protocol. Until this works, don't worry about your code or anything else.

If you post more description and more pictures, I can more easily help you get this going.
