Unless I'm misunderstanding you, that pretty much rules out any remaining possibility of fundamental system software problems, but...

and i cant answer your last question because ever since i switched all the switches to off except console out i have not been able to communicate.
Do you mean that you moved all the switches (except CONSOLE OUT) over to the other side from where they were before? If you had communication with the robot when the switches were where they were originally, they were probably already off, and you've just turned them on instead. Rocker-style DIP switches need to be pushed down on the side nearest the end of the cRIO, where the word "OFF" is.

Are you saying that you can control solenoids without communication working between the Driver Station and the robot? That shouldn't be possible. What exactly isn't working? When you describe the symptoms, don't just say "not...able to communicate." Please indicate the state of the red and green status indicators on the Driver Station display, and tell us the actual words that the Driver Station displays.
