Re: cRio communication problems
Nobody touched the PWM cables since 9am?
It's pretty standard troubleshooting to follow the command trail: - Is the Driver Station (DS) showing any errors?
- Is the DS Enabled?
- If using LabVIEW switch to Test mode on the DS and test a single controller using the Test controls.
- Check the three power status lights on the Power Distribution Panel.
- Check the three power status lights on the Digital Sidecar (DSC).
- Check the status lights on the cRIO (power and status, Ethernet port lights)
- Check the 37-pin cable connection that both ends are tight.
- Check the orientation of the PWM cables running from the DSC (black to the outside) to the motor controllers (black to the inside).
- Test the PWM output at the DSC with a digital multimeter.
- Test the motor controller end of the PWM cable with a multimeter.
