Check again. If they're really blinking green with the Driver Station saying "No Code" or "No Comms", something is seriously wrong. They are blinking yellow, not green. Sorry for saying they were green.

The Power Distribution board has voltage boost supplies to run the cRIO and the wireless adapter.


I'm obviously not understanding you properly, because I can't think of any way for a robot to "run fine" with no Driver Station connected.

They hooked jumpers (aligator clips) to the battery to make sure the problem was not an electrical or motor problem and the chains moved and the dumper worked. Each was tested separately. Obviously, the joysticks and driving were not tested. So we are infering that the problem has to do with the communications between the driver station and the CRio - assuming it is a programming download issue. However, the only code we are running is the Labview default code that I was lead to understand came on the CRIO. How would that code disappear when the robot was turned off?


What does Nathanww mean by DS? We installed Update 3.0a.


Thanks so much for answering. We are getting nervous that there is something really wrong with something. No idea what though.
