Log out of Developer to use DRIVER STATION?

JimC2550 · January 17, 2010, 2:21pm

Got the FRC Basic Robot Framework and some examples to work with new Driver Station. ONLY by starting LabVIEW code in Developer log on, then switching users to DRIVER and then clicking on ENABLE

But if I try to exit to go back to LabVIEW on the DEVELOPER log in, the Driver Station is no longer Enabled.

Is there a way to keep the Driver Station ENABLED and go back to the LabVIEW program so that debugging can take place.

It sure seems like I am missing something… it does not make much sense to operate this way.

Personally, I would not want to use the classmate as my main development PC. The keyboard and the screen are tiny.

My preferred way to develop is to run the classmate in the driver user, and run LabVIEW on my own computer.

Alternately, you can run both LabVIEW and the driver station software on the development user

Well, you should be able to run the driver station in the Developer Account.
It can be found in the program menu.

Just make sure you DON’T use the “Switch Users” feature… this will result in the Driver Station application running on both the Driver account and the Developer account. The end result is that it won’t be able to communicate with the robot.
