The examples need to be copied into a full robot project in order for them to work. If you're not running Robot Main.vi, the proper communication won't take place.

When you reflashed the cRio did you get version 19 or something else? If something else redownload offline and reflash the cRio.

We had the same problem. Did you build the code and set it to run on startup? Try following the directions here: http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-8973

They seem to have done a better job in the examples this year adding the DS communication. I haven't exhaustively checked every example, but the ones I did check had it.
