Go to Post Well, we put it in the bag at 11:58 last night. Needless to say we had to pull guys off of it to put it in the bag. I hope we didn't miss somebody and bag him up too. - jimwick [more]

Re: SIGNAL LIGHT WONT WORK

When you try a different DSC as Al suggests, i would make one more suggestion - make the wiring as simple as possible to test it. By that, i mean keep the DSC off the robot, run two power wires to the PDB and the connector to the cRio, and that's it. then power on the robot and let it boot up. That way, you can be absolutely positive none of your other connections are causing any problems.

If the LED on the DSC works in that situation, start making other connections, checking the LED at every step. If the LED dies at some point, at least you know what connection it was!

My gut instinct says you have/had a short in the wiring for the signal light that blew the fuse Al mentioned... even if that short was later fixed, without the fuse the light still won't work!
