Thank you for the detailed description. It might have given the explanation.


Power steady green means there's nothing wrong with the power. When you said you're not "getting 5v coming out of the roborio", where were you measuring?

Status off means the roboRIO has completed its selftest without errors.

Radio off means there's no USB radio. That's normal.

Comm steady green means the Driver Station is properly connected.

Mode steady green is the big clue -- it means the robot is enabled in Autonomous mode. Switch it to Teleoperated and see whether things start working as you expect.

RSL steady orange means the robot is disabled. That's not compatible with mode being green. Are you sure it's not blinking?
