Hello All,
This is my first time on these forums, so pardon me if I'm posting in the wrong place.
So yesterday, our team's robot was working fine and all our systems (except pneumatics, which I also have a question about) were working well. Today, when I downloaded the latest program to try to get pneumatics working, the orange status light didn't turn on and the little indicator on the sidecar wasn't lit either, but the 3 voltage lights were on. We have perfect communication with our CRIO and all our Victors were working. I also tried replacing the sidecar and flashing the CRIO (I use LabVIEW).
So basically we have 3 problems that we can't seem to solve:
1. Our robot's orange indicator light doesn't work, and neither does the light indicator on the sidecar.
2. Our robot refuses to move, but I can see the motor speed change on the dashboard indicators (I'm currently using the default Dashboard).
3. Our pneumatics (more specifically, the compressor) also refuses to turn on. I have it programmed based on team 358's programming guide, and wired the compressor like so:
- Compressor + and - connectors to M+ and M- on VEX PRO SPIKE
- The VEX PRO SPIKE connected to Relay 1 through a PWM cable.
- The 12V and GND on the SPIKE connected to the Power Dist. Board w/ a 20 Amp fuse on both the Power Dist. Board and the SPIKE.
- The Pressure sensor connected to DIO 1.
We are using a CRIO-FRC II, so does it matter where any of the modules are connected? Is there any guide on programming the Compressor, because I currently have the control loop outside of the Periodic Tasks VI loops?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
