Re: 6 hours, 4 mentors and 2 students couldnt figure out whats wrong with our relays

Well we found the underlying issue of that, too. The watchdog timed out - it was software.
We put the light on for the first time, the bracket just got it, and we noticed that the light turned off every time the compressor turned off. Then the diagnostics tab told us the rest of the story.



So now, the new issue, WHY is our watchdog timing out?

It was originally hard wired, and we thought maybe we might have more luck wireless. Same thing. We tried it with the default robot project, no changes at all, and we tried sevral examples. It always did the same thing. We thought maybe the program was timing out because we didn't have a camera on there and the request wasn't going through, but then we attached that and nothing changed at all.
