Watchdog mecanum 2015

error 44061.

We are trying the initial code from WPI, didnt change anything. and the DriverStation is reporting "4 motors in the vi path robot main...."

we changed nothing. we do not have the camera pluged in.

Is the -44061 message showing up only once, or is it displayed repeatedly? The usual meaning is that your drive motors aren't being commanded by the code at least ten times per second. Might you have selected Autonomous or Practice mode instead of Teleop?

[Alchemy99]

the error pops up in teleop. it happens when we change the "z" axis, than return it to zero. It has came up repeatedly, but not concurrently. it pops up when we let everything go back to normal, than we drive a little and stop again and it errors again.

we are using the original attack 3 joysticks, with the throttle as the z axis until we get the new 3d joysticks.

how would we feed the watchdog if we are letting the robot sit?

Just keep feeding values of "0.00" into the RobotDrive VI.

Wouldn't the default code do that? It reads the joystick position and gives it to the drive.

It should do that, yes.

Does your code ever stop reading the joystick values, for some reason?

[Alchemy99]

no, we changed nothing in the code.

Thanks everyone. The problem was not havin a camera.
