Labview to Dashboard Communication

[bscharles]

We are using Labview to program our robot this year. I am trying to get our crio to send data back to our dashboard. When running a brand new crio project, it sends back the data (analog inputs, pwm, etc.) correctly. However, when trying to get it to send back information from the project we have been using for the entire season, it sends back data when i first connect the laptop to robot. Yet, when i enable the robot, it stops communicating. We are heavily relying on the dashboard for our drivers this year.

Make sure that your dashboard laptop has all of the required updates and make sure that you have re-imaged your cRio since the kickoff, it should be v27. If you don't see v27, then you have yet to install the latest labview updates which can be accessed on the Labview splashscreen

I know that the crio we are using has the latest image (v27), and I am almost positive i updated the laptop we use for programming to the latest labview version (3.1), but i will check again tonight

When you say it stops communicating, do you just mean that the dashboard data doesn't get updated? Is it possible that you're not sending updated data from the robot when enabled? If you disable the robot does the data come back?

Thank you for your responses. I finally got it to work by using the send user data high command in the teleop vi. Not sure if this is the only way, but it works now, and thats all that matters
