Motor/cRIO issue

[Jon Stratis]

Which cRio do you have, the 8-slot or the 4-slot? There were some changes made to the slot order for this year with the new image.

From an e-mail we got as Beta Testers:

All teams will now be working with the new cRIO images which require the new module order. There is a new module order for 2012 to create some symmetry between the 8-slot and 4-slot cRIOs. The new module order is as follows:

1 - Analog Module 9201
2- Digital Module 9403
3 - Solenoid Module 9472
4 - Empty on 8-slot, Any module on 4-slot
5 - Analog Module 9201
6- Digital Module 9403
7 - Solenoid Module 9472
8 - Empty

If anyone can find this info posted someplace official, that would be awesome...


My guess is you have an old 8-slot cRio, and are using the same setup as last year, with your Digital module in slot 4. Move it to slot 2, and I think it'll work for you.

There's a table on page 12 of the "Getting Started with the 2012 Control System" guide linked from the Kit of Parts Technical Resources page.

Thanks! I never would have found that just surfing through FIRST's website (never would have occurred to me to look under the KoP for it).

Quick link to the tech. resources page for others who might stumble across this thread:
