Re: Cyprus Not connecting to FRC Labview Driver Station
If it took the firmware, then it was the right one.
You can tell by pressing the only button on the Cypress board. It will light up red LEDs reflecting the firmware version. No lights means no FIRST firmware.

There are three versions of the Cypress FirstTouch out there now.
The PSoC Programmer checks for the board version before loading the firmware and won't load it if the version doesn't match the firmware.

The first two Cypress versions take two different FIRST firmware versions (yours obviously requires the 2009 version, so it's an older board).
The third version requires an updated PSoC Programmer to recognize the version at all, but while the latest PSoC Programmer can recognize the Cypress board version and install the firmware, having it installed breaks some other FIRST tools.
