IFI Loader Problems

I loaded my FRC hex file into the robot controller. The first thing it did was scroll for almost 5 minutes. After I closed the window and tried to load the code again, the OI and RC radios stopped interfacing with each other. I reset the RC and the OI and the IFI loader gave me a dialog box stating that it could not find the RC. I downloaded the default code and the IFI loader to my PC, compiled the code again and loaded into the IFI loader. It gave me the same error.

I tried calling IFI but they were not open. Have you encountered this problem? I am still not able to load the default code into the RC with the IFI loader. I really would appreciate any insight and directions (including documentation) that would help me solve this problem.

Thanks SO much
Brenda

Re: IFI Loader Problems

Well, there's a menu option to tell it not to auto open the terminal window. (Options > Launch Terminal (After Download)) Is it the default code?

If you want to reduce terminal messages, search for printf() in your code.

Did you make sure it was in program mode? Maybe the battery died? Selected the right com port?

Re: IFI Loader Problems

Believe it or not, my work laptop was the problem. When I used my personal laptop I was able to load the code with ease. It appears some brands conflict with the RC. This was the case with the PC I use at work. Dave Flowerday of Team #111 suggested I do a hard reset and try loading default code from another PC. Guess what? It worked Thanks everyone!
