One thing i noticed is the DevRef naming appears different than what we're used to with the WPI library functions. Not sure that has any bearing on it. Any help is appreciated.
Did the example code work and yours not? What do you mean by "make available the Navx libraries in LV"? Are you adding the library file to your project? Do you have the latest version of the library (v2.0.4.0)? What interface are you using for communications? Although I tried to make things similar, the LabVIEW library for the navX is not a WPI library.

That's odd...logs? What type of crash? Are you using the stop VI in your finish? What interface are you using for communications?
