The imaging tool says that all of the modules are green (in the correct location, I assume), and reformatting / re-imaging it doesn't help in the slightest. We've reduced our code down to the absolute minimum, but nothing has worked...
Don't assume just because it's green that it's in the right location. Check connections physically please, software fails too (something I hate hearing when we're working on the robot, it's always easy to point the finger at the programmer ), make sure Analog is in port 1, ribbon cable module is in port 2, and solenoid module is in port 3. Can't wait for the roboRIO, when all these problems will vanish and new ones will arise.
