Re: For teams having trouble downloading code

Today I tried doing a Run from Main on the practice robot. It worked fine yesterday, and it worked fine Saturday, but it didn't work today. While downloading, it would hit Buzz15.lvproj, wait for a while, then say "Waiting for Real-time target" with the option to "stop waiting and disconnect". It will eventually timeout and say "Lost connection to real-time target", and when I look at the run box the last thing it tried was "RT CompactRIO target (failed to deploy target settings) (newline) Deploy completed with errors. Its really really annoying. I tried everything. New battery, tether, reboot several times, then flipped the No App switch and booted it again. All was well. Its really annoying to have to reach deep into the robot where the cRio is. And this is the practice robot - the real robot with bumpers makes it even harder since its much harder to see without the bumpers. If we would have known this during week 1, we would have put the cRio somewhere else so at least we could flip the No App switch when we needed to. It's really annoying to have to flip the No App switch.
