Problems deploying code

[ArzaanK]

I have the standard windows firewall enabled, could that be stopping the deployment process. I won't have access to the robot until later tomorrow, but when I do, I will disable my firewall, and see if that helps at all.

Also, is it possible for me to somehow take the .out file of the program, and transfer it to the FTP? I've read about doing it before, but I'm wondering if the process can still be done manually.

Sure, you can ftp to the robot (the user name and password are 'user' and 'password') and put the file in the login directory (so no need to change directories on the robot) - our autonomous code runs scripts that we download to the robot via ftp prior to each match

Hey - the name of the file might be important on the robot, it will not be SimpleTemplate.out. I can't remember what it is and have no way to check it right now. Log in to the robot and do a directory listing, the name is kinda obvious looking.

I found out why I was having the problem. My Windows firewall must have been denying me access to deploy the code to the robot. I probably messed up on the permissions when I installed the program. All I had to do was disable the firewall, and I was able to deploy code.

Thank you all for your help,

No problem - good luck to you and 1325 this year!

Thanks for posting what you did to solve the problem! A question, though - was this the same computer with which you wrote and downloaded LabView code? I'm wondering if LV uses a different mechanism than FTP to deploy code to the cRio.

I'm not sure exactly how LabVIEW deploys code onto the robot, but I have read somewhere that some teams have had success finding the raw executable and then performing an FTP transfer. I don't exactly remember where the thread is unfortunately.

Also, the computer that I am using is the exact same computer that I wrote and downloaded LabVIEW code with.

OK, that tells us that LV and WindRiver use different mechanisms to download/deploy the code to the cRIO - handy to know for troubleshooting.
