cRIO output problem

[alex42]

None of the cRIO outputs work. We have been working on this problem for three days, and we've tried everything we can think of. We got both analog and digital inputs working (initially nothing was working) by running the cRIO imaging tool (basically by reformatting the cRIO) but we're out of ideas. I am an experienced programmer and I wrote the simplest possible code to run the Jaguars, relays, and solenoid outputs: just open.vi and set [whatever].vi. I am confident that there isn't a bug in that. Several team members experienced with electronics have also been working on the problem and they are confident that it's not an electrical problem, especially since the digital inputs are working. We're currently blaming the cRIO configuration, since we can't think of anything else, but we can't find a different cRIO image so we can test this theory. We are at our wit's end.

We found the problem. Remember the enable switch from last year? Turns out the stop button didn't replace it. They just hid the switch inside the DS code. Turns out the robot was disabled. We didn't notice since we had no reason to run the DS program in the Developer account.

Although theoretically, inputs should have worked all along. Apparently there was another problem.
