Help Getting cRIO Feedback

[rholokleolke]

Our team is planning on using C++ in Windriver but we are having some problems. We aren't to sure on how to get feedback from the cRIO to the computer. In previous years we would have a serial cable running from the robot to the computer and we would print out diagnostic messages using IFI's terminal window. This year we aren't sure how to do that. I tried turning on the console out but I don't seem to get anything when I try to connect either through the terminal window in Windriver or through hyperterminal in XP. We can get code to compile and the debugger works but we would like to be able to see the readings from sensors plugged into the cRIO on the computer. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
