CRIO Fried

[Biolore]

Well...

The power distributor is only outputting 12V from the 24V spot. We hooked up the cRIO to a separate source, and that didn't work either.

That sounds like a problem with the Power Distribution Board, and is unrelated to the cRIO. The 8-slot cRIO will not function with only 12 volts supplied to the power input.

What was the "separate source"? The first-generation FRC-cRIO wants at least 19 volts before it will power up.

(The newer 4-slot FRC-cRIO-II can work with as little as 9 volts.)

We hooked it up to 24 volts (about).

One of our mentors wants to know where we can buy a new cRIO as well.

We already shipped our cRIO in for repairs, and it should get here for the 18th.
