Hello Matt,

Occasionally when you switch from QuickTeach to ProgramMaker or vice versa or try to run both at the same time the Virtual Controller will hang.

The Virtual Controller can only be used by one process at a time. This is due to a limitation set on the Virtual Controller by the Windows operating systems.

 

It is therefore important to shut down ProgramMaker before you switch back to QuickTeach.
If QuickTeach loses control of the Virtual Controller you can regain control by first shutting down and then restarting QuickTeach.

When you shut down and restart the controller, your programs are retained just as they are in the real robot (however it is a good idea to save them anyway)
If it is not possible to shut down the controller then you may have to manually shut it down with the Windows Tasks Manager.

 

  Best regards
