Jaguar/Victor Not Getting Signal on Default Code

You should follow the the control system manualexactly. If you had, you would not have programmed the cRIO using the wireless link- you would have used ethernet cables and connected the Driver Station directly to the cRIO and your computer directly to the Driver Station.

With that being said, I can tell you that I have programmed the cRIO wirelessly and it's not reliable. The first time I did, it went half way through and told me it couldn't find the cRIO and displayed an error indicating it might be on a different subnet (it wasn't.) The second time, it worked... so my reccomendation is to go wired.

1.) What exactly does the battery status say on the driver station?
- If it say's "No Comms" you have a communication issue. Perhaps the team number isn't set correctly on the cRIO (set during imaging) or the driver station.
- If it says "No Code" you should re-image the cRIO using a wired link.
- If it says a reasonable voltage than we have to start looking in other places for the problem and will need additional information.

2.) What is the robot signal light doing on the digital sidecar?
