Re: Labview Programming Computer Features Recommendations
There really shouldn't be any magical properties that your computer shouldn't connect to the roboRIO. Make sure that the laptop has LabVIEW 2014 installed with the most recent frc update suite. The issues could be coming from that the roborio doesn't have the most recent image, the usb cable could be having trouble, the ethernet cable could be in bad shape or your work laptop could have restrictions on it if you received it from your employer. If you still want to buy a new laptop I will recommend at least 200 gb of space, an i5 on the laptop and around 6gb of RAM. If it is going to be used for CAD also, you might consider getting a graphics card along with it.
