Cool Re: Failure to connect to RcIO

I went through this exercise yesterday for FRC Team 1, Juggernauts, so let's review a couple of points from my memory.
1) Not all imformation to do cRIO setup seems to appear in one electronic document, so you may want to look through written material to familiarize yourself with a step you may have missed/overlooked.
2) You must setup the cRIO. You must also setup your laptop/classmate PC to talk to the cRIO with the right IP address (for us 10.00.01.06). Then
you must obtain the cRIO image file that ends in ****19.zip for this year's competition. This set's up the cRIO for the FRC 2010 year.
3) I used the pink ethernet cable in the KOP (crossover cable - was labeled red in instructions) to image the cRIO from my laptop.
4) I loaded my laptop with the FRC Labview program. I then upgraded with the software from USfirst website. I setup the IP address manually for my laptop to talk to cRIO. I then downloaded (deployed) the base FRC robot
main vi per instructions.
5) It took me 2 times to image the cRIO. First time it didn't work for who knows what reason. Tried again and it worked.

I may not have remembered everything but hopefully this helps you along your path. Best Wishes
