(URGENT) No clue where to start with 2013 LabVIEW

[Team3763 Adam]

Migrating from 2011 (2012) LabVIEW from last year, to this year's 2012 (2013) hasn't been...easy.

This past year, as most of you know, when you made a new cRIO project, it supplied all the .vis for Begin, Teleop, Auto, Finish, Disable, etc. With this year's version of LabVIEW 2012, I cannot find where all of these VIs are. Let alone find a proper cRIO project to start with. Do I have to code one myself from scratch or am I missing something?

Basically I'm needing to know where to start with LabVIEW 2012 (2013).

Best of luck,
Adam.

Does your Getting Started window have FRC 2013 at the top of it? Does it have a Tutorials buttons, etc? If not, be sure to install the LabVIEW Update located here. https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-26315

These and many other helpful resources are on ni.com/frc.

I opened LabVIEW and it says LabVIEW 2012 and has 2 parts; Create project and Open project. The previous version had Projects, Tutorials, Utilities, and Support tabs off to the left. This version doesn't.

So did you already install the updates?

I would love to have everything on the DVD in the kit of parts, but the logistics are that the code for the DVD is frozen many months ago, around the time the beta test was just starting. This means that the VIs that make up the Getting Started window and WPILib and examples has to be downloaded later, in the update. The same is true of the imaging tool, DS, etc.

I'm downloading all the updates in the link you provided prior. Hopefully this is the key to moving forward.

So, I downloaded all the needed files from the link provided, and viola! We're back in business. It now displays 2013 FRC LabVIEW. Many, many, many thanks to your MUCH NEEDED help. Now I can teach my teammates and move forward with this year's competition! I'll make sure to make a note of your name as credit

Great website from the creators of the WPI library.
