Output signal failing problem fixed!

The watchdog errors only occasionally correspond with the ceasing of the signal. We figured that the watchdog error when we first enable was normal, because it was easily explained. Thanks for the advice on installing the station on another computer, we'll try it.

We don't get messages for every System Watchdog dropout, so it's the System count that might or might not match up.

The count in the error message isn't always sequential, implying that it can't always communicate back to the DS to tell us about them when they occur.

I installed the driver's station on my 64 bit 5 gig ram Windows Vista computer and ran the robot from it while we were graphing. We discovered that the flickering has nothing to do with the computer. There's something going on with the cRIO, or something else electronic, that we can't fix. We hooked up our E-Box to a robot today and ran it. We tested it before this, and the flickering was clearly there, but it didn't effect or make itself evident in the robot's driving. It's a problem without a fix which doesn't effect the robot noticeably.
