Re: help with Operator Interface and FRC robot Controller

On the Operator Interface, there is a small section in the middle column of LEDs at the bottom. It is labeled "Competition Control" and has one light: "Disabled". If that light is orange, your controller is disabled and will not respond to anything until you take it out of disabled mode. If it is off, you're good to go.

If it is on, I'm not sure how to take it out of disabled mode without a dongle (fancy switch). The schematic for one is available on IFI's site. It might be a good idea to make one anyway, just to help the robot run only when you want it to.
