can't get control system to function

What is the Robot Signal Light doing -- is it flashing, or is it on steady?

Robot signal light is flashing.

What do the lights on your speed controllers look like -- flashing, a steady yellow/orange, or something else?

Speed controllers are flashing yellow/orange.


Does the Driver Station screen say "Enabled" or does it say "Disabled"?

We've got the dongle on it. Have been trying it with enabled.

What is displayed for the battery voltage?

Battery voltage says no comm. The engineer working with us was going to install a jumper today to get this to work I think.

We are trying tethered at the moment- didn't want to introduce another variable.

As far as bench testing - I'm not sure it was done - i got into this to help with programming - wasn't there at the beginning.

Thanks for the help!

Well, there's your problem.

You need to make sure that the Driver Station is set to the proper team number. You need to make sure that the proper team number was selected when you reimaged the cRIO. You need to make sure that the wireless router has the proper IP address and that all its settings are correct as directed by the instructions in the control system manual.

The jumper would fix a "0.00 volts" indication. It will have no effect on a "No comm" situation.

Alan - correct team number is in driver station and crio - 539.

As for the wireless router - we're not using it - are tehering through the ds.

Thanks!
