Re: Jaguars are blinking yellow

Two silly questions, but I haven't seen them answered yet:

1) Do you have power to the Digital Sidecar? Make sure the BATT, +5V, and +6V LEDs are all lit.

2) Have you enabled the robot from the Driver Station as suggested in the very first response? Only after the robot has been enabled will the Jaguars be receiving a PWM signal and stop their flashing.

Not-so-silly question: What is the Robot Signal Light doing? Either the big amber light plugged in to the RSL pins on the Digital Sidecar, or the little green LED next to those pins. If it's off, there's a wiring issue, most likely either power or cabling to the cRIO DIO module. If it's blinking quickly, the robot has not established communication with the Driver Station. If it's blinking slowly, the robot is communicating but disabled. When the robot is enabled, it will be on steady with a very brief flicker off every second or two.
