Roborio not recieving power

[tyler9698]

Our freshman are working on our team's 2015 recycle rush robot. Everything is wired correctly and the roborio is not receiving power. We have narrowed down the problem to the pdp wire slots on the pdp. Does anyone know of anyways to either clean these slots or make the wire stay in.

Check your red fuse.

Are you using the correct wire size? Your wire might be too small. If you do have the correct wire size, then tinning the wire with soldier will make it bigger, and possibly hold better in the PDP connector slot.

If there is no voltage on the PDP's roboRIO connections, the 10A red minifuse is probably blown.

If there is battery voltage but it's not getting to the roboRIO, look to the wires. Make sure they're stripped to the right length, inserted fully, and clamped properly in the Weidmuller connectors.
