Re: Run Virtual cRIO

Also, the cRIO is 2 processors: a 400MHz PowerPC CPU (what your code runs on), and an FPGA processor to interface with the modules. Your average emulator won't do that.

If you're looking for a way to test code without a cRIO, I think a special version of WPILib designed to run on a regular computer would work. The hardest part would probably be implementing the DS to robot comms protocol. A GUI robot control panel that allows you to set all the sensors and read all the outputs would be nice (labview comes to mind)
