The PWM wire is correctly plugged into the speed controller.

I believe that the problem is with the driver station or the cRIO because when I test the Joystick input VI, the joystick values does not changes when I move the joystick.
I connected the joystick into the usb port before I turn it on.

On the driver station it displays:
Team: 1660
Mode: Teleoperated
System: Enabled
Battery: No Comms
DS Rev: 2008-10-29A

Does there need to be a jumper connected to any of the pins on the right side of the driver station?
Does it matter what kind of ethernet cable I use if its not the orangle cable? Currently I have the blue cable connected from ethernet port 2 of the driver station to the PC, and ethernet port 1 of the driver station to port 1 of the cRIO with the grey cable.
Can the problem be that the safe mode and the IP reset pins are set on the cRIO?
