FIRST Robotics Competition Discussions

[#1]

Hello,

After several attempts, I couln't deploy successfully my ptoject.

If I create a new project and deploy it without modification (2 motors arcade drive), it goes, but my whole code, which works without problems when I hit the "play" button at the front panel, always fails to deploy.

I am using some VIs from the 2 color camera tracking example, such as FIND and SERVO GIMBLE, can this be the problem? What should I do?

I have the third update installed. Everytime there's an update I create a new project and copy and paste my project into it. Can this be the problem (copy and paste instead of rewriting from scratch)?

Here's the deploy log:

Daniel,

You should not have to create a new project and copy and past anything into after the update.  You should be able to open your existing project and deploy it without having to make any changes to the code.  The latest update also requires you to reimage your cRIO.  Have you done this?

From your deployment log I can see the VIs for the camera are deploying correctly.

Cheers,

Mark

Yes, I re-imaged the cRIO.

I imgined I shouldn't need to, but since I didn't know what else to do, I did it just in case.

edit: what exactly is not deploying correctly?

I don't have any more guesses.

Thanks Mark.

Daniel,

From the information here its difficult to determine why the deployment is failing.  In your first post you mentioned the code works when you hit the [Run] button.  Does this mean we only get a failure message when we are trying to deploy a built startup executable?

If you would like we can troubleshoot this issue over the phone.  Engineers on the NI FIRST Support team take support calls weekdays from 1PM-7PM CST (866) 511-6285.

Cheers,

Mark

I was getting a similar error to Daniel when I lost connection to the cRIO during deployment.

I suspected this was because the power on my battery was low. When I connected a power supply to my cRIO I was able to deploy successfully.

Is this a possible cause for you issue?

[#6]

Yes, this problem only happens when I deploy a built project.

It doesn't fail building, only deploying. I do the following procedure I found at chiefdelphi forums:

"1. Expand the cRIO in the project explorer.
2. Under the cRIO, right click on the "Build Specifications" and select "Build All"
3. When it's done, right click on the cRIO and Select "Deploy All"

4. If it asks if you want to set something     as the start up application, say yes."

it's during step 3 that the error appears.

I'm from Brazil so I will try to work out the problem through the internet before calling, but I will if we are unable to solve soon.

edit: I will try to deploy using an external power suply, but that doesn't seem to be the problem, since I can successfully deploy an unedited FRC basic project.

Thanks.

[#7]

Please check the battery level on your setup.  If possible try using the cRIO's power supply rather than powering it off the PD board.  This is the best test to see if a battery with a low charge is the issue.

-Mark

[#8]

I have experienced the same problem recently, where I am able to run code on the cRIO but not deploy my built application. (update 3.0a)  We had previously deployed code, though it was a week ago with update 2.  Battery voltage was sufficient for running motors and any other task so it doesn't seem suspect.

[#9]

njg,

Have you rebuilt your application since updated to 3.0a before deploying?

-Mark

[#10]

Yes, in fact this is the first time I had built the application on this particular computer. (no old built files laying around)
