Re: Help for a rookie team?

First of all, just take a step back and relax. Setting up the control system for the first time will be the most frustrating experience of your life, but once you get it done you'll be golden for the season.

Make sure that you have installed all of the updates on this page (you need an NI username/pass, but you can register for free).

As far as I know, LabVIEW is not on the Classmate this year. But the installation discs are in the Kit of Parts and you can use any laptop to load code onto the cRIO.

From the information you've given us, I have no idea how far you are in the process to setting up your control system. Can you tell us specifically what you have done so far? What is the "robot code" light? Are you getting a No Code error or a No Communication error?

In the meantime, take a look at the files the Uberbots have mirrored here under Logomotion Documents -> Control System. They may be able to help you out further.
