Failure to launch: nothing happens in tethered benchtop test
Our team has finally wired the power to the control system and we started doing a bench test. We have everything hooked up (to the best of our knowledge) and everything blinks all nice and happy. When we tether the robot to the bench, nothing happens. Jaguar lights continue blinking yellow, and we even hooked a motor to one, and it doesn't respond. The ethernet ports flash orange and green, so something is going on, but not what the benchtop test specifies.
Details:
Driver station:
2 joysticks, usb ports 1+2
tether in eth port 1
running *OTB* version
Robot Controller:
tether in eth port 1
1 Digital sidecar plugged into NI 9403 bus in the center of bridge
jaguars using PWM cabes plugged into PWM OUT +V 1-4
jaguars jumpered OTB setting
attempting benchtest Rev .4
Do I need to update the firmware? Is there an updated version of the bench test? If there is, can someone post links?
