PDB Status Lights

[FireAmpersand]

What do each of the status lights mean on the PDP? We are getting orange lights rather than the green. Thanks

Check out page 13 of the User Manual. (http://content.vexrobotics.com/vexpro/pdf/217-4244-PDP-User-Guide-20150126.pdf)

Orange means robot disabled, or sticky fault present.

Could you tell me what a sticky fault is? Thanks :o

A sticky fault is a fault state that is kept until cleared by the user. The PDP is telling you that a fault has occurred at some point. It may or may not be still occurring. Someone with more knowledge than me should chime in with what that fault might be. I haven't had the chance to use the new control system yet.

Another resource to look at is Screenstepslive (https://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/4485/m/24166).

Thanks so much, we'll wait for someone with more experience just in case :)

Just found this page on Screenstepslive. (https://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/4485/m/24166/l/216217-updating-and-configuring-pneumatics-control-module-and-power-distribution-panel)
Scroll to the bottom to see how to access fault information through CAN, and how to clear the faults.

That did the trick. Thanks ! :)
