Re: Broken Robot! Help Please!

We always troubleshoot by looking at each component as we move from human input to robot actions. Start with the DS, check connections of all joysticks/controllers(Joysticks in the correct position in the DS). Check DS to Robot Comms(Use a tether then use wireless). Check to see if the DS is communicating with the CRio (Is the CRio IP set correctly). Check to see if the CRio is sending information to the sidecar(Is the cable loose/frayed, is the RSL flashing). Check to see if the sidecar is sending information to the speed controllers(PWMs connected). Sound redundant? It is. If you look at each piece as it moves down the line, it can be much more simple to pinpoint where it goes wrong.
