Re: Robot Problems For Electronics

Sounds kinda like a Watchdog error to me. The lights blink while they aren't receiving a signal. For example if the cabling is loose/missing, or simply if the robot is disabled. Watchdog errors essentially disable the robot, and thus would cause that blink pattern.

What language did you program in? I suggest trying to debug the code directly on the robot. Java, Windriver, and LabView all have real-time debugging tools. At the very least, you can look at the Diagnostics tab of the driver station application for any Errors printed to the window
