Re: paper: FRC cRIO II
 

We are a rookie team and we have the crio 2 we have yellow flashing lights on our jaguar motors and we don't know what is wrong if you or anyone on the thread can help it would be appreciated

Re: paper: FRC cRIO II
 

Yellow flashing lights on the Jaguar speed controllers means they are not receiving a PWM command signal. Lots of reasons this could be:

• Did you image the cRIO with the imaging tool?
• Did you then download code?
• Does the code activate the PWM you have your motors connected to?
• Did you connect to the cRIO from a laptop running the Driver Station (are the connection status lights red or green)?
• Did you Enable the robot from the Driver Station?
• Are the PWM cables connected in the proper orientation?
• Is the Digital Sidecar powered properly (all three power LEDs are bright green)?
• Is the cRIO Digital module in slot #2?

Adding to Mark's list.

Is the DB37 cable correct? Some in the kit were built incorrectly. See http://www.usfirst.org/sites/default...structions.pdf

Re: paper: FRC cRIO II
 

The only thing we arnt sure of is If the code activates the pwm because we are running the tutorial but the robot signal light on the digital sidecar is off

Re: paper: FRC cRIO II
 

What language are you using, and which tutorial did you pick?

Did you check the ribbon cable as Joe suggested?
A good cable should be able to plug into itself without requiring a twist in the cable to do so.

Re: paper: FRC cRIO II
 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH that was exactly the problem (we hope) we a currently flipping the female part on the DB37

Re: paper: FRC cRIO II
 

Did anybody ever find out if you could use the fourth slot as an additional digital sidecar module?

Re: paper: FRC cRIO II
 

You can use it for any of the 3 modules. The module you insert will be detected at power-up.

Re: paper: FRC cRIO II
 

I can not access the digital soft switches for the cRIO in the new imager, does anyone have any suggestions? I am using the new cRIO II
I am using the crossover cable, the imager gave a new name to he cRIO II and the IP address alright, but I can not upload an image.

Re: paper: FRC cRIO II
 

What happens when you try?

Re: paper: FRC cRIO II
 

What is the specific error? Can you quote it exactly here?

Re: paper: FRC cRIO II
 

Unable to complete operation because of unexpected error:

Re: paper: FRC cRIO II
 

The cRIO II has the IP address and name, but when I select the option to image it, it does not allow me to. It gets halfway through the formatting process, and it displays the above ^ error code.

Re: paper: FRC cRIO II
 

Make sure your computer's netmask is set to 255.255.255.0 and that you have disabled (by right clicking and selecting "Disable") any adapters other than the one being used to connect to the cRIO.

Re: paper: FRC cRIO II
 

I have done that, and it still does that.
