Error: A timeout has been exceeded.

[rod@3711]

I have not found a thread that solves this. We made a commanded based C++ program starting with the Robot Builder. We noted this error message occurring every 1 second, but ignored it since everything worked.

Error in line 117 of MotorSafetyHelper.cpp: A timeout has been exceeded.....

We are having other issues with USB camera and connecting to robot wirelessly at our shop, but we could always get things going, by various, resets, restarts etc. Our first competition was a disaster. It took hours to get tethered control to work. Our first 5 events went well, but we could never get going for 4 of the next 6 events. .

At competition, the most helpful staff helped swapped out the radio, ethernet cable. It got back to working, but still with a various sequence of resets and restarts.

It is just too flakey. So, back in our shop, we made the most simple C++ robot builder system with a 4 motor chassis and that is all. When we build and deploy, it also gives the 117-timeout message every 1 second.

We have 2 robots with same hardware and 2 computers to talk with them and the both have the same result.

We can continue to live with it, but more deaths at the competitions would be hard to accept.

I feel this experience will convince our team members to avoid computer programming as a career path.

Any ideas?
