Ok, so today we had the 8th graders from the entire district come into the high school to check out the clubs. In the middle of one of our demonstrations (while driving), our robot stopped responding. We triple checked every wire, and found everything in order.
Now, before anyone (including myself) starts jumping to conclusions, can someone explain me what typically causes a cRIO to fry, and what is the normal behavior of a fried cRIO.
Now the list of our robot's behaviors:
- No communications via wifi
- Direct tethering allows for communication, but only provides a camera feed
- Watchdog isn't thrown, but the robot refuses to take any commands (like twisting the joystick)
- Formatting and redeploying code (in two labview and java) doesn't solve the problem (Strangely, java allows us to connect via wifi)
Now, like I said, I don't think the cRIO is fried. All I need to know are the symptoms of a fried cRIO
