Re: No Robot Code
One thing that may be confusing some teams.

When you log out of developer mode to get to the driver account, the development tools such as Eclipse or LabVIEW will stop running. So when you log in as driver, there truly is no code running on the cRIO because the LV process was stopped.

To develop code and drive from the same computer, stay in developer account and use the Start menu to launch the Driver Station. This will allow for debugging and rapid code changes. But do not expect to do this at a competition field.

Once the code does what you like and you are no longer developing, build, deploy, run as startup, and then log out and simply use the driver account.

Also, since the classmate screen is quite small, if you have a second laptop, you may wish to use it for development and simply leave the classmate for the driver account. Plug both computers into the blue cisco router and give the development computer a 10.xx.yy.6 IP.
