Re: Unable to locate I/O unit over USB.. new error

A lack of the cypress should not block the robot from running. If you can't enable the bot then you have very serious problems (unless the stop button is unplugged )

CyMiniProg3Service is the communication program for the I/O board on the DS. You can see if that is running by typing "services.msc" into the run dialog on the Developer Account and scrolling down to that service. If it says Disabled or Stopped, make sure to start it and try again.

Also, run the driver station updater again and tell it to uninstall everything. Then run it again and install everything. There is a bug in the updater that prevents the Dashboard and I/O board software from updating normally.

If you not being able to enable the bot is the problem, check the lights on the far left of the Driver Station. Communications, Robot Code, and Stop Button should all be green. If one of those isn't, then your problem is unrelated to the I/O board
