Re: 17.2 volt battery?

Yarden,
You didn't have the battery connected to a charger while the robot was on did you? The dashboard display is sampled by the jumper on the analog in slot 1 of the Crio. If you do not have an analog module in slot 1 you may be seeing a false reading, noise or some other input.

<R61> A National Instruments 9201 module must be installed in slot 1 of the cRIO-FRC . An analog breakout must be connected to this module. A jumper must be installed in the “Power” position (two outer pins) on the analog breakout. The analog breakout must be powered from the PD Panel. (Please refer to the 2011 FRC Control System Manual for details on these connections.)
