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
