Re: Help saving current code

Okay, I was able to do this -- FTP'ed into the cRio and copied *everything*, retaining the directory structure. I didn't see an imaging tool under WindRiver, but I did install LV and see it there. At this point, I'll assume I have all I need to recover these files if necessary.

What's complicated this whole process is that my regular setup is Win2K/Linux dual-boot, so for this robotics stuff, I got a new HD, installed WinXP on that, and then WR and LV there. Since I'm always working, it's been tough to get time to swap out the HD to do any work on the cRio stuff. But I'm getting there. And another complication is that I'm out of the country every other week now.

Joe, I'm very good about keeping backups and code revisions, but this situation has been caused by other issues (internal mess with our club that I will not discuss on this forum), so I've taken over the software and trying to deal with what I've got. I don't plan to modify the LV code, but start fresh with WR (I'm more familiar with C/C++ and prefer non-visual programming environments).

Much thanks everyone! The ball's in my court now to get some time to read through the docs and get some code developed.

Cheers,
-Neil.
