Re: c-RIO connection troubles

As far as I know the only thing we needed to do to get the cRIO update working was remove the CAN plugin.

To reformat the cRIO, in the imaging tool you used to switch to Java, there should be a checkbox that says something along the lines of "Reformat cRIO". Check that and you should get a few more boxes available to select an image. If you have all of the programming updates installed on your computer, I believe the v20 image will be shown in the selection box. Make sure it is set to format to team #211 and language is Java (if you want to keep that).

Also, formatting the cRIO is equivalent to updating it. The only way to send an update to the cRIO is through a reformat.

With the switches the only one you really need to know about for this is the SAFE MODE switch. If you're still having troubles with this update, flip that and try again. Afterwards I believe you need to flip it back to off and perform the update a second time.
