Re: Bent pin in cRIO
The HD15 is just a terrible choice of connector for the cRio modules, at least with how much slop there is in installing the modules to the chassis. The first time I ever put one in, I bent half of them totally over flat 90 degrees, and I didn't even feel anything wrong. Last year, one of our experienced students bent half of them over 90 degrees, just from not being careful.
I've pulled the board out of the chassis and straightened them very carefully with little picks, tweezers, and small smooth jaw pliers.
Also, I believe NI does no questions asked overnight replacement to teams, and they send out in advance, free shipping. You mail yours back after you get the new one. Call them.
