Last year I would develop the robot program on my home computer or a school computer using LabView. Then I would copy the source over to the classmate and deploy the code using build and run as startup from LabView. This year we just realized that the new Windows 7 image didn’t seem to include an operational version of the LabView IDE. Does this seem correct to anyone? Basically there aren’t the usual start menu shortcuts and launching labview directly from program files doesn’t work. However the CRIO Imaging Tool does run and that’s how we are going to put the 2011 base image on.
We can’t take the classroom computers off the school’s network because they are all locked down by the system administrators. Nobody on the team has a laptop computer and the classmate doesn’t have a disc drive for us to load LabView onto it.
Is there a way to create an robot program image / binary that we can just copy over via flash drive and use the CRIO imaging tool to load that onto the robot?
Thanks in advance for not bashing the newbie question
