Re: Nav-X error - Cant get readings

We have tried both USB 1 and USB 2, in addition to physically unplugging the camera (while we are using the Navx-micro) and still get the same as error as was posted above. Any other suggestions?
Here are a few suggestions:

1) I found during testing of the USB2 option (which based on our testing is not working as expected currently) that after attempting to use USB2, it was required to reboot the roborio in order to get things working again. It's as if when USB2 is used, something gets in a bad state that requires a reboot to clear. So if you haven't you might try rebooting the RoboRIO and then re-testing with just the navX-Micro in USB slot 1.

2) To make sure the navX-Micro is completely healthy, you can verify the two green (S1 and S2) LEDs on the board are lit during operation. If they are not both on during operation, there is a problem w/the board itself.

3) if 2) succeds, next use the navXUI application (installed when you run the setup program). This would entail connecting the USB cable from the navX-Micro to a Windows PC and verifying that you get a correct reading from the sensor as displayed in the navXUI display.

4) If 2) or 3) above fails, we'll be happy to replace the board for you.

5) If 2) and 3) both work, then there's something particular to your configuration limiting USB communication. Perhaps it's the USB cable, perhaps it's the RoboRIO USB connector. You can check both of these by using the LifeCAM in the slot you are wanting to use the navX-Micro, and the USB cable you were using w/the navX-Micro, and verify that works correctly.

6) If that's still not working, you have the option in this case to use the navX-Micro I2C interface instead, as described in the navX-Micro RoboRIO installation page.
