Re: RoboRIO not getting power.

You can pull the fuse and look at it.

Or, you can remove the power wires from the roboRio and use a volt meter to make sure you are getting 12 volts (careful not to accidentally short the wires, or you will blow the fuse).

Make sure you check your polarity. I think the roboRIO has circuits to prevent blowing the roboRIO if you have reverse polarity.

If:
1) You have 12 volts on the wires
2) You have long enough leads on the wires
3) You have proper polarity
4) Inserted the wires correctly
then you probably need a new roboRIO.
