Constant Re-Imaging of the cRIO?

[team21371]

Hi,

We have a problem with our cRIO. We send around 5 programs to the cRIO  then it won't let us run another without reformatting it.

You can imagine the hassle this is during the build season, is there anything we can do to not have to do this so often?

Please tell us if you have any questions.

Hi,

Each time you deploy your robot code, it should replace the one you had deployed from the previous time. You can ftp to your cRIO to verify this. Just type ftp://10.xx.yy.02 into a browser window and you should be able to see all the files/folders on your cRIO.

It's possible that your code is using up all of the processor resources on your cRIO and it won't allow you to connect to it. What you can do is flip the No App switch on your cRIO and reset your controller. This will prevent the previously deployed code from running as soon as the controller starts up, which should free up the processor. Now you should be able to deploy your robot code without any issues. Remember to flip the No App switch back to the off position.
