Re: Driver Station No Robot Code Light Blinking

The Robot Code light on the DS is controlled by the arrival of info from the robot in the status packets. If the robot code is running slower and slower, it will eventually start to miss status timeouts and the light will flicker. If it stops sending them all-together the light will stay red.

So, I'm not sure what was/is causing it, but I suspect that your code, or more precisely the FRC_Communications task on your cRIO was running slower and slower due to low-memory or task overhead.
