HELP! LAPTOP WON'T SHOW ANYTHING!!!!!

[JChavis]

Well, it seems that our laptop again won't function properly. I still think it is the connector from the hard drive to the motherboard, or even the RAM stick inside the computer. Is there any type of special service that FRC teams can use for laptops? I already Reseated the RAM stick and the Hard Drive several times, so I can't tell what the problem is for this computer.....

With all of these problems going on, we were able to hook up our hard drive to one of our school computers and boot it off of the hard drive, which worked perfectly. This still furthers my theory of the yellow laptop connector being the problem between the hard drive and the motherboard. I just hope that FRC teams can get their classmates serviced......

Oh, and if you are reading this Nick, we got the robot driving and turning!!! We just need to fix the programming to be able to get the back two wheels turning tomorrow!

One thing I might recommend for getting your back wheels to work is to just use a pwm splitter to run both jags off of one signal. That way, you can ensure that each side is operating in sync, without extra work for the programmers.

Yep, that was the exact thought I had in mind. It's just exciting to see that our robot chassis looks formidable....
