No Robot Communication/Can't update software on RoboRIO
 

I've connected tethered and wireless to the robot and I still get no robot communication, I don't have any more information to this part but I think the problem ties with my second problem. RoboRIO has 2 flashes on status which means that an error occurred with the installation of the software. When I went to re-install it, it says that the connection was interrupted (usually during the last part of the installation). I am plugged in with a printer cable too.

I hope you mean USB cable, not one of these printer cables:

USB type-B cables are used often with printers.

Are you using this type of cord?

You may have corrupted the image. First, boot into safe mode. Then, make sure you are using a USB A-B cable and that you have the latest NI update package for FRC. Then re-image from safe mode.

I remember parallel printer cables... I feel old now (and I'm only 24). Then again, I also remember cRios (the old 8 slot ones), Blue Kwikbyte boxes, and IFI controllers.

Thanks! It works now but now I have a new problem: It disconnects after a couple seconds of driving. Our electrical guys are going to look at it today while I look at the logs.
