If you can ping the roboRIO, then you have basic hardware communication all the way through.
If the Communications light is on then the Driver Station is successfully communicating with the FRC code communications task running on the roboRIO.

The Robot Code light being red means there is no user program running on the roboRIO for the Communications task to talk to. (Maybe because "Run as startup hasn't been used yet).
Nothing will respond until you successfully get your code onto the roboRIO and yoy get the Robot Code light to turn green.
Okay I'll see what I can do about it tonight. Thank you for your input, it's been quite helpful.
