Two Killed cRIOs? Help!

Thanks Jet and Don. I've shot NI Customer Support an e-mail and will try calling them this Monday.

In the mean time I'm going to make our electrical team recheck all wires and soldering joints to ensure they are properly taken care of.

Having two units fail like that in rapid succession certainly sounds like some sort of electrical fault due to improper isolation. Please verify your chassis is properly isolated from the frame.

on a semi related note, i like how you can accidentally hook up the robot power backwards and it doesn't get damaged, but the rest of the electronics do. (rushed re-wiring after finding grounding "problem" caused by cims being used)
