We've tried with straight up Ethernet cables, too, and still nothing.

We're located in Newtown Square, and I think that's around 2 hours from where 103 is...we might try calling an NI engineer and asking if it's a problem with the cRIO itself.

Re: Failed Benchtop test

did you use the victors, that you are ussing, in prevouis years. The last 2 years we had to reset the victors before they would work for us. To reset:
(1)make sure all power is off, so either diconnect the battery or manualy trip the main circuit breaker.
(2) ther is a little hole on the victors, there is a little switch inside. get something small that can fit in the hole.
(3) hold the switch down, and while still holding it down, turn on the power. the victor light should be a solid color.
(4)keep holding down the button in tell it starts flashing.
(5)to test if it worked: turn on and connect the driver station and the light on the victor should be a solid yellow when everything else is set up right.

PS: make susre you have the pwm cables pluged in the rght direction. The white part of the cable should be plugged into the signal side of the port.

Re: Failed Benchtop test

Here's a random thought: make sure only ONE of the serial-like cables (going from the cRIO to the power distribution) is connected to the cRIO. I had similar problems but when that was disconnected it worked perfectly fine. Obviously make sure the one connected is going to the power distribution that has the wire in it (hooked up in the first signal slot)

Re: Failed Benchtop test

Thank you to everyone who posted a suggestion.
We got it to work at last by setting the IP address. (I will get the teammate who did it to post a more detailed discription)

Good luck with the rest of build season!!

The only connection from the cRIO to the Power Distribution is the 24 volt power (plus 12 volts to each of the Solenoid and Analog Breakouts).

Do you mean the 39-pin cable used to connect a cRIO 9403 digital I/O module to a Digital Sidecar?

Re: Failed Benchtop test

Thanks for everyone's help! We've finally figured it out; we had to set the IP address of our Ethernet port on the laptop and then Image the cRIO to set the IP on the cRIO itself. For anyone else who has this problem, what we did was:

1. Disable all other connections (internet, etc)
2. Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections
3. Doubleclick Local Area Connections
4. Click Properties
5. Scroll Down in the windown and double click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
6. Click Use the following IP address and set the IP Address to 10.xx.yy.6 where xxyy is your team number
7. Set the Subnet Mask to 255.0.0.0 and click OK
8. Open up the FRC cRIO Imaging Tool and check Format Controller
9. Set the Team ID to your Team number (xxyy)
10. Let it image - this should take a while
