Netbeans Console goes blank

As we are printing statements to the Netbeans console it will suddenly go blank and have to be restarted in order for us to read the output again. Is anyone else having this issue?

We had a problem once where we would just stop getting output from the robot once the robot code started running. The rest of the output stayed there, but we would just get no more output at all. Is that the problem you’re describing? Our solution was just to switch to Eclipse :D.

If the robot is still sending the output, it can be read by several different programs, even all at the same time.

  • On you driver station, click Start>>All Programs>>NetConsole for cRIO.
  • OR On your developer machine:
    Open a terminal window
    Change the directory to your robot project’s dir.
    Type “ant echo” - this should duplicate what NetBeans does.
