Re: Quick Reboot - is it possible?

While it would be nice during debugging and integration to be able to just FTP a new executable and say "GO!", the seconds that this would save us don't justify the effort of making it so.

Many teams already use scripting tools for things like constants and autonomous modes. This lets you use a workflow of:

1. Edit on laptop.
2. FTP to cRIO.
3. Send reset signal (ex. a button press during Disabled) to re-load file.
4. GO!

This pattern lets you realize most of the benefits of a quick reboot (plus other benefits) without having to dive into system-level code.
