Burnt jag but why...?
Ok, so this is really weird...
Saturday night we had everything wired. We checked, double checked and triple checked all the wiring (by no less that three people). We booted up the robot and started trying to load code. Short story at this point is lots of trouble with cRio gave up (around 1:00 am) and went home but everything was recieving power including jags.
Come back to work today.
Swapped to new (translate known good that we have been using) cRio
Powered up machine (both classmate and robot) everything is fine
Imaged rio everything is fine
Loaded code (C++) everything is fine
Enabled driver station and *poof* went the jag
It got hot enough to completely melt the outer casing at the V+ connection. Take a look at the photos and if you can advise as to what might have happened I would be grateful so as not to repeat a mistake. No one was drilling anything and cRio is not mounted such that anything 'should' have fallen into the jag while swapping the rios. Will post pics as soon as they are approved...
