CRio Connection: Buggy

[mswalker]

We reimaged with the v28 image and things seem to be working as expected. Joe, thanks for figuring this out and fixing it!

how do we update to v28 please help?

[Mark McLeod]

Take the LabVIEW v28 image from Source Forge and drop it in:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\project\CRIO Tool\FRC Images\FRC_2011_v28.zip

Then it will appear in the cRIO Imaging Tool list.

Just to cover some bases for ChaosX73:

I can't seem to image the cRio from my personal laptop, so I have to use the classmate. I 'bricked' (which means to turn it into an expensive paper-weight) our cRio by using the imaging tool on my laptop, so the way you have to fix it is format the cRio. You format it by putting the cRio in safe-mode. Once its in safe mode, try to deploy code using the imaging tool. It will recognize it in safe-mode and ask if you want to format it, do so. This will return it to its normal state so you can put new code on.

Its likely not bricked, so try and just deploy v28, but if your computer doesn't recognize it and the IP address doesn't seem to be recognized by your computer, its likely bricked.

Again, this is just to cover some bases for ChaosX73. Hope it helps!

Heads up.

Our team played at the Suffield Shakedown, they had the real field and FMS setup.

Our cRIO was imaged with this early release version of v28 and our robot was not able to connect to the field.

I can't say for sure if others will see this same issue at regionals, but avoid the headache an re-image asap using the official release.

There is no difference. v28 is v28 regardless of how you got it.
