Driver Station not working on Developer account

[captainking]

So we're having some issues with the driver station, we are using the classmate laptop that FIRST provided. When we load the code, the driver station on the developer's account says that it sees the robot (the robot light turns green), however it keeps saying that there's no communication. When we switch to the Driver account, the communication light turns green and says the code's loaded. On a side note, it keeps saying "watchdog not fed" no matter what the code is and it hasn't had this problem since the driver station problem started.

You used the phrase "switch to the Driver account", which makes me wonder if you're trying to log on as both Driver and Developer simultaneously, switching between them without logging off.

Don't do that.

If you have the Driver Station application running in the Driver account, it won't run properly in the Developer account at the same time. When you want to use the Developer account, make sure you log off the Driver account first. To do that, click the "Exit" button on the Setup tab.

I do believe the issue with the watchdog is an error in the actual drive station program stuff. I read somewhere they will be releasing a patch soon. ~Dustin

Watchdog not fed is a different issue.

The current bug with the driverstation is "Watchdog Expiration: user xx system xx" or something close to that.

I think Alan nailed the Issue on the head.

Did you update the driver station? You should see a compass in the lower right hand corner if it is the current version.
