Does anyone know what a solid light means, or if there is a manual for it somewhere?

If you are referring to the robot status light, I would check to see if the jumper is installed properly as shown in this document

blink codes are here

EDIT: oh, wait, for some reason I skimmed right past steady on in the list. Maybe there is nothing wrong after all (at least with the light).

Re: Safety lights

Thank you. Our robot was acting up on bag and tag (:eek: ) and one of the symptoms was a steady on with occasional flashes of off. It may have been a jumper, but it doesn't explain the rest of it.

Re: Safety lights

Fast Blink = not communicating
Slow Blink = disabled
Long on/short off blink = Teleop mode (what you described)
Solid on = Autonomous mode

Mark,

Last year, they went to five codes as follows:

Quote:

Solid ON = Autonomous Enabled

Solid ON, but blinks OFF every 1.5s = Teleoperated Enabled

Slow Blink (900ms on/ 900ms off) = System Disabled; caused by system watchdog, user watchdog or Driver's Station set to disabled

Fast-Slow Blink (200ms on/900ms off) = Low Battery (<12V) or no user code AND system disabled either by system watchdog, user watchdog, or Driver;s station set to disabled

Fast Blink (200ms on/200ms off) = System error: No driver's station communication, bad cRIO Image, bad team ID, extensive comm. error

I have seen no documentation this year so I assumed it was the same...

Do you have a link to current (2011) blink codes?

Regards,

Mike
