Re: Problem with Robot Status Light
The robot status light is not controlled by the code. It will indicate different statuses based on what mode the robot is in... however if you are not getting a solid orange or flashing orange light at all, then it is a mechanical problem..
1. Use a multimeter to check that you get 12v at the light when the robot is powered on and in disabled mode. It may show 12V then 0 then 12 on your meter.
If you dont have 12v check your wireing and polarity... if you are positive the wireing is correct, unplug the connect from the DSC and check that you are getting 12v from the pins.
If you are the DSC is good but your wireing is bad,
If you dont get 12v from the RSL pins on DSC make sure the ribbon cable from cRio is seated properly, or just replace the DSC.
2. If you are getting 12v but the light is off, then the light is bad, could be a blown bulb or bad contact. Just relace the light with another known working light.
Hope this helps,
Kevin
