cRIO Not Working?!?

[JohnFogarty]

I am a new programmer and I was using the Getting Started Manual and so I wired the robot and by accident burned out the Analog Breakout board in Slot 1, I know quiite n00bish. anyway I am ordering a new one. I went through the cRIO image tool image tool to set it up for LabVIEW and it completed it right, I rebooted and still all seemed ok. I tried downloading the example Tank Drive hitting run when i open the VI. It loaded the program into the cRIO and it was succesfull. Though when I moved the joysticks nothing happened. Then i discoved the meaning of the Digital Sidecar's LED light..... it was blinking rapid 200ms on 200ms off which in the manual says System error: No driver's station
communication, bad cRIO Image, bad team ID, extensive communication errors. I connected it to the driver station and the robot, and joysticks and everything were green except Robot Code. I had a Vet. of the team look at it and he ran a relay test and said it wasn't getting the code correctly. I tried re-imaging again and rebooting it and still got the rapid LED Blinking. So now i am lost and have no idea. I have tried using 2 computers one being the classmate and the other being my HP Pavilion running Windows 7. HELP HELP HELP!

So you are using LabVIEW... do you get error messages in the status window that pops up when you click run? Did you set the IP of your robot in the example project?

We had the same problem. Did you build the code and set it to run on startup? Try following the directions here: http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-8973
