Incorrect voltage readout on Driver Station

It looks okay...except for the lack of any indication that there is actually power applied. There's a green LED that ought to be lit. What voltage do you see using a meter on the white Wago connector?

Sorry - the power was not on - the green LED is on when power is applied - we see 12.07V on the wago connector. It must have something to do with the dashboard packet format not matching (because we are customizing it).

Customizing a dashboard will not break the robot battery voltage communications. They are very independent.

The problem became obvious once I realized what to look for.

Keith, your NI 9201 module is in Slot 8 of the cRIO chassis. It needs to be in Slot 1, at the end nearest the Ethernet ports and power connector.

Hmmm - I'll check it tomorrow. I thought it was in slot 1.

Thanks

Thanks Alan - the students swapped the cRio mount around and I did not even notice - an acute case of cRio slot dyslexia!!

All is good now!
