Hey all-
I’ve managed to start a new project from the SimpleTemplate and the SimpleTracker examples, but when I try to make one from the DashboardDemo example, the code doesn’t build the required targets to download to the CRIO. It’s driving me crazy :yikes:.
Suggestions?
The Dashboard runs on your PC not on the cRIO, so there won’t be anything to download.
That’s why the project files are all under “My Computer”
The Basic and Advanced templates include the cRIO dashboard side of things.
Guess I wasn’t clear enough, I meant the cRIO side, and the sample program that they provide which sends data back when downloaded to the cRIO.
My communication skills are getting poorer. Several of my posts the past few days don’t seem to convey what I was thinking 
I’m really not sure what you’re having trouble with.
– LabVIEW and/or Wind River?
I had assumed LabVIEW-only where you:
– download the LabView Basic or Advanced project
– Run the dashboard project on your PC
With the Wind River I haven’t tried the dashboard project, but I’ll give it a shot.
P.S. I see the examples “Dashboard Sample showing images…” and “Dashboard Data Example”
Where is “DashboardDemo?” (Nevermind I see that’s the .cpp name under “Dashboard sample…”)
With this year’s system there are many paths to the same objective.
Update mis-matches will prevent it from working.
I got the same result you did.
“Dashboard Data Example” creates a .out
“Dashboard sample showing images…” does not create a .out
Thanks Mark. Sorry for not being clearer, I am working with WindRiver :P.
I must admit, it’s kinda frustrating when we are given examples that don’t actually work.
It seems to not create a .out because it isn’t a full program.
It’s setup with a unique entry point, but it has no RobotMain or any of the supporting Watchdog requirements for the cRIO.
You can probably just take the **TestVision2PC **routine and incorporate it into the working “Dashboard Data Example.”
Sounds like a good idea, hopefully I should be able to test it within a few hours and post my results up here. Just to make sure, this code is meant to interface with the LabView FRC Dashboard program, when the computer is on IP address 10.xx.yy.6, correct?
Thanks for the idea Mark!
I have managed to download WindRiver and make the necessary updates but I amhaving trouble creating a new C++ template for the code.I know how to make a template for regular C++ but I need to make it so that it is the FIRST template with the three phases of competition. How do I set up this kind of file? Thanks for the help.
In the File menu, hover over ‘New’, then click on ‘Example’ and choose the one that best fits your needs.
Thank you very much for the help.
