RoboRIO re-image not working

[mattiasZ]

Hi,
We are a rookie team to FRC - team 6364, and we are having issues with re-imaging the roboRIO. At first we imaged the roboRIO and it worked fine and we had installed the correct version of Java on it. However, today when we tried to upload some new code the following error occurred:

roboRIO not found, please check that the roboRIO is connected, imaged and that the team number is set properly in Eclipse

Note that this error did not showed up the previous times we tried uploading the code (it upload fine). This prompted us to try and re-image the roboRio using the FRC re-imaging tool, however it gave the following error:



We could not load the roboRio IP in the browser (172.22.11.2).

Also, we tried to re-image the roboRio using Ethernet and it worked. However, in Eclipse when we try and re-upload the code the same error as above occurred.

And yes we have tired restarting the roboRio and the computer, and using a different computer, and using different USB cable.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help.

You didn't mention the driver station. The DS will attempt to connect to the roboRIO using the team number and will also ping it.

Launch the DS and see if the establishes communications. If not, click to the second tab (diagnostics) and see if the LEDs for the robot and/or radio are there. Those are the results of ping calls to the devices that make up the robot.

Finally, you can go to the setup page and verify that the team number is set correctly, you can shift click on the drop-down to see all of the roboRIOs that were discovered and see if the roboRIO has an unexpected device name or IP number.
