LabWIEW can't find robot.vi

[live4321]

Ok, as the main programmer, I like to take a look at the new code before showing the rest of the programmers. When I tried to make this year's robot project I get this error and it stops everything.

Error 1055 occurred at Property Node in FRC Create Project.vi->FRC Wizard - Robot.vi

Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW: Object reference is invalid

Has anyone have any information about this?

That error message is coming from the wizard that replicates the code and changes a few properties. It sounds as if the files likely weren't copies to your documents directory or something else failed upstream.

You may just want to choose another location for the project to be saved, ensure that your disk isn't full, and other obvious stuff like that. I can tell you how to hand copy the project without the wizard if it comes to that.

Well I did those two things with no avail, is there anything else that's obvious that I can do?

[Greg McKaskle]

Can you build the dashboard or other robot projects? Where are you saving them?

Yes, I am able to make the dashboard project and compile it. I saved the dashboard to the default location (I didn't check before I made the project) but the thing about the robot code was I tried saving it from default to my documents and all the way to C:/ and it came up with the same error.

There are five different robot project templates. Which did you try?

I have only tried both of the Arcade drive templates.

To do it by hand and bypass the wizard, go to Program Files/National Instruments/LabVIEW 2012/ProjectTemplates/FRC Templates/...

Pick the template you want to start with, copy it and paste it to your documents directory. The first time you open it, you will need to right click on the RT target and set the IP address according to team number.

If this doesn't work, it indicates more an issue with the template and less with the wizard. Thanks for being patient, and please let me know if this works.

That too did not work, the cRIO (the drop down in the project manager where RobotMain.vi is usually located within the project manager) shows an triangle with an "!" in it (usual windows warning sign).

[Greg McKaskle]

I tested it again with the first three Arcade templates, and RobotMain doesn't have a ! and opens correctly. It does have a + on it. That is the normal LV icon.

The RobotMain file should be in the same directory as the project file.
