DS always disabled

[Bryan Herbst]

Although it wont help you, as you have probably tried both switch positions, but the "enabled" position on the toggle should be up, not down.

Mark, that helps tremendously. Thanks! We have flashed the DS twice with the firmware.. We'll be contacting the KwikByte support.

Tanis, we opened the switch and probably mounted it back in backwards without realizing heh.

We are having the same issue. Any luck contacting Kwik Byte? Any solutions offered?

We have the latest driver stations update (2009_01_22c1) as well as NI Update 3a.

When we turn on our Driver Station without anything elase other than power and the enable/disable switch, we can change from disabled to enabled.
When we add in the PC's ethernet, it still works.
When we connect *either* the cRIO via ethernet or connect the router via eithernet the DS will not exit disabled mode.

I think it is the new update. Both of ours were fine before the update, now they both lock in"disabled" whenever we are connected to the cRIO. Does anybody have a copy of update 2? at least that one worked.

I've seen this when the cRIO was at Update 2 and hadn't had Update 3a installed.
Restoring to the Oct DS firmware release does work, but reimaging the cRIO should work.

Also, For some reason, If you remove the watchdog, the Dongle switch for the DS does not work. When the code for the watchdog is added again, it functions normally.. Strange.

I'll have to try that one. That's good to know. Thanks.
