there's no way the software was wrong, because it was the same exact software we use all of last year
But yes, we DID try reloading the code (both labview and my semi-ported java code), but we had little success

Not sure how metal shavings would get in the cRIO, but where exactly were the shavings in the cRIO? like under the modules or actually IN the cRIO

When this happened to us last year, they repaired it at no charge, and they had it back to us very quickly. (They understand build season there)  |
We have power to everything (with the exception of our busted orange flashing light), including the cRIO, which really confuses me as to what the problem is.
And yes, we tested 2 fresh batteries, but that didn't change anything
Not sure how old our cRIO (might be new from last year, but like I said, i don't know). Will NI still take it?
