HELP I'm Losing it! aka Labview deploy vs. run

[kngscrpn24]

Okay everyone,

So today I had a bad day and I really need some answers, so instead of my customary comfort of bedtime Game Manual reading, I have resorted to bedtime CD Posting.

Anyway, today team 2064 finally started to program (yes, I know it's a bit late). Anyway, Classmate was set up correctly. cRio was imaged. In short everything was connected as it should have been. So there was no hardware issue.

We used sample software, so there should have been no software issue.

My question pertains to the two accounts on the Classmate. My teamates and I were used to always clicking "run" last year, as deploying took ages. When we attempted clicking run while in the developer account, everything would be loaded properly onto the cRio, but there seemed to be a disconnect between the driver station and the robot (which were hard-wired)- specifically the stop button. The robot was in a consistent disabled state.

But upon deploying in the developer account, then logging off and going into the driver account, the robot would function perfectly.

So yes, we got our program to work, but frankly, all this switching seems a ridiculous inconvenience. I mean we could use one laptop to program, and always use the classmate for the ds, but even then we would still need to deploy. So I have come to the conclusion that there must be a quicker way to test our programs. I just don't know what it is!

I am well aware that somewhere in the depths of the programming forum there must be an answer to this question; in fact it seems to be that type of question that close to everyone asks. Yet right now I need to do a bazillion things and I know this is a really lame excuse and I know that everyone hates repeated answers, so....

If anyone could write a really quick response or point me to the right thread I'd be a very happy programmer (an oxymoron, indeed!).

And yes I know I ramble!
