Thanks for clarifying. I only looked at your linked picture after I posted and that answered the question of which language. The answer about the target server came shortly thereafter. I've mostly programmed in LabVIEW and Java, so I didn't remember that.

The RSL is the orange dome light that connects to a separate port on the digital sidecar. If you don't have one connected, there's a small LED on the DSC next to the RSL port that mirrors the RSL, so you can use that instead.

It's helpful to know the state of the Talons as well. If they were solid orange when the robot was enabled, than that basically answers the same question.


New question: Is your program printing any error messages in NetConsole? Can you try printing the values that you're sending to the motors? (I believe in C++ you can just use printf or cout)
