Write to Flash Drive on the RoboRio

[aeastet]

Has anyone here developed a method to write to the flash drive through LabVIEW to the RoboRio flash drive?

Plug in a flash drive and open up the Rio web based configuration. Then in the file browser find what the flash drive directory is called. Ours was "/u".

Once you know what the directory is called you can use the File I/O VI's in the Programming section on the Function pallet.

An example file path would be: /u/auto_programs/Program-1.txt

/u is the flash drive
/auto_programs would be a user created folder in this case
/Program-1.txt would be a text file you are saving data to

Thank you for that information. It is an interesting way to think about what we could do.

I was actually thinking about writing tot he RoboRio drive. Has anyone done that through LabVIEW?

Same thing just start with the main directory of the Rio instead of the flash drive directory.

What are you using to do this? I tried the create file and it tells me that it does not exists. Are you using a standard LabVIEW function to do this?

Any chance you have example code. A picture would do.

See the attached example.
