Re: Volts in Driver Station reads 00.00
I'm not sure what you mean by blue module, but it might be the Power Distribution Panel (the one with all the circuit breakers).
You guessed right about my meaning though, the Analog Breakout is receiving 12v if the green status light on it is glowing green.

The only pieces that affect the voltage display on the Driver Station are mostly the electrical wiring and connections:
  • The connector in the bottom of the first slot on the cRIO (no bent/broken pins)
  • The Analog module installed in the first cRIO slot (no green LEDs on it like the Solenoid cRIO Module)
  • The Analog Breakout
  • The jumper on the outer two pins of the Analog Breakout
  • The 12v power wired via a white wago to the Power Distribution (green status on the Analog Breakout)
  • A circuit breaker for the circuit on the Power Distribution Panel
  • In code if you opened Analog 8 (Analog 8 should be left alone)
