You need to start with one of the templates in order for things to work properly. Are you programming with LabVIEW or are you using C++?

It's just a simple tutorial, made by National Instruments, that demonstarted a simple way to use a joystick (using open, getaxis, etc) and a jaguar controller. Its in LabVIEW.

Ok a little update. We reimaged the cRIO and let it power down/up. Then, we used the program that is automatically added when you reimage, the arcade drive, it worked.

Then, I opened LabVIEW and went under examples and opened up the sample Arcade Drive Example. The only change I made besides changing the target from 10.0.0.2 to 10.2.4.2 was to change motor type from Victor (the default) to Jaguar (what we're running). And lo and behold, it still didn't work. We also tried the entire process again using the Tank Drive Example, with identical results.


Also, if it makes a difference, we're running Windows in a separate partition in a Mac.

Since I have experienced a similar issue, it sounds like this. What I would do is allow it to run on your cRIO for 20 minutes. See if you experience the same thing I reported in that thread.

Is your version of LabView different than what your cRio needs to run off of?

Hey RMiller, your suggestion seemed like the most likely problem, so I walked into a meeting today with that as my prime suggestion, turns out another team member looked into it and reached the same conclusion. As soon as we get our laptop we'll check..
