Robot Not Responding
 

Our robot is not responding to the driver station.

When trying to control the robot, all command signals are sent, and the RSL is flashing appropriately for all modes (including auto and teleop enabled), but the Victor and Jaguar motor controllers are flashing, indicating they are disabled.

All the latest updates are installed, and the latest firmware has been flashed (many times). Using live diagnostics, all the joystick values are being sent to the robot, and passed to the motor outputs correctly, with valid PWM signals. We have tried multiple cRIO's (vI and vII), multiple Digital Sidecars, and multiple of every interconnecting cable. We also have tried running the robot in autonomous, with the same result. We are using Victor 884, and 888 motor controllers, and original Jaguar motor controllers.

Any ideas?

Are team has a lot of trouble with PWM cables just barely being unplugged and frustrating errors like this. Have your tied swapping out the digital sidecar?

I am also from Team 1825. We have tried two different sidecars and have reseat all the connections into the controllers and the sidecar, as well as its cable. We have also tried replacing the cRIO module, as well as the cRIO itself (we're on our third).

Digital I/O is not working either.

Re: Robot Not Responding
 

Can you describe your problem again and any of the troubleshooting you've gone through?

It's most likely something very simple.

First describe what is working, e.g., solenoids, relays, battery voltage feedback.
You said the RSL is working and the Driver Station statuses are showing green.

What do all the robot status lights show?
They are everywhere and know all.
