Watchdog errors and broken cRIO dip switch

Hello, our team has run into a problem wherein we get constant “watchdog exception” errors while running our code. We tried loading a blank FRC project on the robot, but that didn’t fix it. We also tried reformatting, and ran into some problems there. We were unable to reimage the cRIO, and when we went to put it into safe mode to reformat, we discovered that the dip switch for safe mode was broken. Could this have been causing the errors we were having? And if so, how would we fix it?

Is the watchdog actually enabled? Can you load up an example and see if that runs correctly? It also shouldn’t be necessary to put it into safe mode. What errors are you getting? As for fixing the DIP switch, that sounds like you need to contact support.
