Butter's is an unknown quantity at this point
Cannot move robot

So, this has been an issue for a month now. The other programmers & myself are looking to switch to Java. We inherited C++ from the old programmer, but we are better in Java. Sadly, we can't get Java or C++ to work. I could care less if C++ works, I'm just looking for help in getting Java to run.

What makes this really annoying is...
  • Communication is fine.
  • RobotCode is on the robot (Deploys fine with netbeans).
  • Code is exact copy from the Java Starting Guide: Github link
  • Joysticks have a green light & respond on the I/O dashboard.
  • The jaguars stop blinking when we enable the robot (Which as far as I know means they are functioning).
  • Running latest netbeans plugins for FRC.
  • Teleop AND autonomous don't work.
  • Were not even using wireless, were wired in.

The cRIO is running on 2012_v43, and this is the only thing I'm not sure about (Is this latest?).

Things we have tried...
  • Restart the robot / change battery.
  • Re-imaged cRio.
  • Creating a new java project.
  • Different Java Code.
  • Change the joystick ports.
  • Prevented Windows firewall from blocking communications.
  • Pinging robot (Which works fine).
  • And other little things I forgot which we read online.

The only thing I wish to try is seeing if the compressor & piston work. If they do I know this is a jaguar/motor/electrical problem (Which doesn't make any sense, since we have not modified the robot mechanically or electrically sine last competition. And it worked fine then).

I'm literally clueless right now, for those interested, I even took pictures of all of it on my phone:

Any help would be awesome right now, I really want to practice with Java before the season starts!
