Re: FMS & DS Radio HELP

How is your driver station connected to your robot?

Right now the message you posted is saying that your driverstation (DS) is actively communicating with the crio. That's a good thing. That means the networking is all up and running from your DS computer all the way to the cRIO.

You're not going to get Field Management System (FMS) communications, since an FMS is only present at a competition. That's ok.

So it looks to me like everything's working correctly.
If you're unable to Enable and control your robot, the next few things to are whether there is robot code loaded and running. (See status pane section - #3 at link below). And that your joysticks are connected and on the port your code is expecting them at (Setup tab section - #6, at link below).

There's some useful information on the at the following link with more details about what the different areas of the DS mean:

I would also suggest going through the articles at the following link. There is a lot of good information available.
