Exclamation Jaguars Slow Yellow Blink - Possible Control System Issue
I turned on the robot and the 2 jaguars are slowly blinking- I know "Loss of servo link." Except, the connections are tight and I am fairly certain they are correct.

The DS status:
Team: 1337
Mode: Teleoperated
System: Enabled
Battery: 12.3 V
DS Rev: 2008-10-29a

cRIO:
Power LED Green

Digital Side Car:
RSL Solid Green (changes to blinking green when disable switch on DS is toggled)

Jaguars:
Slow orange blink in unison

I then systematically re-powered everything:

1. DS (issue still excibited)
2. DS and Wireless Router (issue still exhibited)
3. Reboot robot (issue still exhibited)

I then came over to the PC to post this message. After about 10 mins I went back to the robot.
A.) The RSL was slow blinking the Jaguars were slow blinking in unison.
B.) The DS said "System: Enabled" and "Battery: No Code"

I re-powered the robot and everything is fine and working.

What's going on? Is there a known issues document?
