Re: Jaguar boot error

This is follow up data on MJ's post. This is from Scott Marshall. The "Fast Build" was a seven team build session on saturday jan 10.

"I have noticed several instances of the Jaguars not changing from blink to solid correctly on enable. Not just 1 robot, but we had 3 do it in Fast build, and 2 yesterday in the LabView programming. Team 462 also gave me a heads-up that they had trouble initializing their bridge (square wired/wireless on the robot)."

"All teams at the fast build following the instructions in the sections 1 thru 5 of the control systems manual. The issue is sporadic, and with the time I had could not troubleshoot the source of the anomaly. From blinking to solid there was no change in software download, so it couldn't be the LabView error or compile. Typically the battery was cycled, sometimes both the driver's station and robot. I do believe pretty strongly it is the communications to the Jaguar, so I hope that there is a fix in work. I just don't know if it is internal to the Jaguar (like incomplete initialize upon powerup), at the output to the digital I/O card, or in the side car adapter."
