Re: For teams having trouble downloading code

We have this problem often, but only when fully deploying (not running main). Our solution is to reformat, as the cRio was not put in a position that is easy to get to to flip the No App switch. We have never had a problem in the past that required us to press the buttons on the RC or cRio, so we burried it in a place where there is hardly enough room to get a tool in there. It works fine, and we can plug things into it, we just can't flip the switch every other time we have to download. The errors seem to occur after a day of not downloading code, so formatting once will get us a day of downloading happily. We found that the No App switch works after talking to 27 at Kettering, seems they have a similar problem sometimes. We actually spend 1/2 hour of our unbag time trying to download code. (then we spend 45 minutes finding out why Arcade Drive in auton wasn't driving, then found out it scales inputs without telling us). I always assumed this bug was just another LabVIEW bug since I have found several others (probing while the code loads will crash LabVIEW, this bug involving not downloading, loss of cRio while downloading, etc.)
