3. Part 1 : Getting Started

4. Installing the Required Programmes

5. 1.Install LabVIEW from the installer CD The serial number for 2012-2013 is S14X86759 2.Install the Utilities update 3.Install the Driver Station 4.Install the FRC Bridge Configuration Utility

6. Installing LabVIEW from the CD

7. After Installing the Updates

8. Setting up the Router

9. 1.Ensure that the router is set to 2.4Ghz AP (Access Point) 2.Configure your wireless bridge for team use either by an Ethernet cord or a crossover cable. 3. Set the IP address to your corresponding team #.

10. Setting up the DS

11. Setting Up the cRIO

12. 1.Remember to “flash” it using FRC 2013 Imaging Tool 2.Use a crossover cable when flashing your cRIO (flashing will not work with a Ethernet cable)

13. Part 2 : Common LabVIEW Blunders

15. Creating Your First LabVIEW Project

16. 1.Remember to input your cRIO IP Address It is 10.xx.yy.2 2.Select the radio box that best describes the drive configuration of your robot.

17. Using the LabVIew Simulator

18. 1.Go to Robot Main.vi 2.Right click ProjectName.lvproj/RT CompactRIO Target 3.Select ProjectName.lvproj/Rt My Computer 4.Click Run

20. Deploying LabView Code

21. 1.Expand Build Specifications 2.Right Click on FRC Robot Boot-up Development 3.Click Build 4.Repeat step 2. Then, click Deploy. 5.Repeat step 2. Then, click Run As Startup.

22. Quick Little Blunders Refrain from using variables where possible. Give your sensors meaningful names. Ctrl + H brings up the help menu. The use of logic is ESSENTIAL in LabVIEW. Loops with timers are useful for timed tasks in autonomous mode.
