I was able to download initial code that made a motor drive but now when I go to download new code to the robot, WindRiver says that new code was downloaded to the cRIO but the robot responds as if no new code was downloaded. Am I downloading the wrong file to the cRIO in the Window --> Preferences drop-down or am I compiling it wrong? I had heard that the .out file should be compiled? Where is this file?
You have to tell Wind River exactly which .out file to download in the Window --> Preferences -> FIRST Downloader Preferences menu.
No matter what project you are working on, when you tell it to download, that’s the file that’s going to be downloaded.
You can locate the proper .out file using the Project Explorer or File Navigator in the left windows. The File Navigator will probably have several .out files listed with the full path, just make sure you pick the one with the same name as your project.
Great thanks a lot.
