Now we are getting somewhere.

The DS should not be updated until instructed to do so in the manual. If it is done out of order, it won't communicate. So, now the question is, what else needs to be updated? I'm guessing you might as well update the LV software with update number 2, and re-image the cRio with the newest image. Then, set the addresses and all should be well.

Bottom line, it sounds like the directions in the manual were not followed, correct?

I didn't even think of that yes the manual states i beieve that the DS needs to be updated before the cRio. In addition the cRio needs to be uptaded through the DS


Laptop ---> DS ---> cRio


hope it helps...

We updated the DS because we couldn't get the benchtop test to work. We thought we might have to update it and set the team number to get it to work. It was only after we did that that we discovered the Digital side cars need their own power and don't get it through the giant cable. The CRIO was updated through a crossover cable, but other teams said that had success that way. Do you think we should try the update again through the DS? Also, what version of firmware do yu guys have on the CRIO? We found something labeled version 7, but everyone else seems to have version 2.

I'm not sure where a version 7 would come from.
Get the version 2 update from here. It will update LabVIEW and allow the cRio Imaging tool to update the cRio to the latest version as well.

In the FRC cRIO Imaging Tool you should be loading the FRC_2009_V7.zip
In comes with Update 2.

..._V2.zip is from Update 1.

Thanks guys. I think it is working now. It started acting communicating properly. I don't know what we did differently. It just started working? Now, if we can only get my code to compile so we can test it.....
