Hardware or Software Problem?
Hey guys,

We recently had a weird problem with the cRIO. None of the lights would turn on despite power and there was no connection between the cRIO and the drive station. When we took a voltmeter to it, each individual module had power but the base did not. No coding modifications were made and none of the wiring was messed with. On the drive station the light indicating a connected code was blinking rapidly in and out. We are wondering if this is a hardware or software issue with the cRIO. Also, if it is a hardware issue, how much does a replacement cRIO cost? Just the base? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Team 4111 Peace, Love, Robots
