thanks alot guys for the help. The cRio wasn't imaging correctly because of an IP adress issue that is now fixed
now we have a cRio that receives code greatly
we are now at another problem.
when we activate tele-op mode our robot doesn't move. I also checked the driver dashboard and i am not getting any pwm input/ output when i move the controller... i know normally i should see the first 4 pwm ports moving when i move the controller. any suggestions?
