cRIO test drive *OFB* problem....
we got the control stuff couple of weeks ago, and today i got around setting it all up, i followed the diagrams and manuals (which i would like to note are incompatible with what came and i also expected a bit more stuff to come in, like more cabling, proper PWM IO cables and etc.)...
when we turned the driver station, everything was tip top, it booted, then i followed the manual and put it in disabled and teleop and shut it off... then we started the cRIO and all components connected to the power board, and everything blinks and works as it should, just like the manual said...
then came the operational test... we started the driver station, then we connected the ethernet cable from the driver station to cRIO ethernet port #1, and started the cRIO and all components, joysticks were connected to driver station USB 1 and 2 also... when the cRIO started the ethernet LEDs started blinking, im guessing DHCP address allocation of some sort, we tried to move the joystick, but the jaguar PWMs just kept bilnking... the ethernet LEDs never idled, always blinked... and at the end no motor movement...
any ideas?!
also whats the deal with the split PWM cables for the jaguars? and no cable for the victor... *sign*
