Like many people he was introduced to FRC in a 'unique' way and was hooked throughout high school. Then, reconnect the roboRIO, power on, and attempt to reconnect. Ty's story reads like a promotion for FIRST and introducing students to STEM. Make sure to check the IP address and change in the driver station if need be Power cycle your system: turn off and disconnect the roboRIO, and close out of any software that works with the device. More information on faults and sticky faults is available under PCM Faults. Change the connection type (USB to Ethernet or vice versa) and attempt to reconnect. Use the Self-test Snapshot in Phoenix Tuner to inspect and clear sticky faults. So we arent getting robot communication with the driver station. The problem is that the driver station appears to want to use the roboRIO-2635-FRC.local address to connect. We can even ping it at roboRIO-2635-FRC.LAN (Im not sure how we figured that out). It may blink orange instead to signal that a sticky fault has been logged. We are able to use the specific IP address of the roboRIO to ping it wirelessly. If the PCM CAN connection is healthy, then it should slowly blink green (when robot is disabled). If it’s just the PCM then inspect the Weidmuller CAN contacts on the PCM. If several CAN devices are also blinking red then check the CANH/CANL chain. If these negative symptoms are noticed, recheck CAN bus harness and termination resistors. Typically the Driver Station will set the appropriate settings automatically. To distinguish a fault condition, confirm the PCM does appear in the configuration page, and use the Self-test Snapshot to identify which fault condition is occurring. For information on installing the Driver Station software see this document. This is important to check because a red STATUS LED pattern may also reflect a fault condition (if robot is enabled). If a PCM does not see a healthy CAN bus it will blink the STATUS LED red (See User’s Guide for LED States).Īdditionally the PCM will not appear in Phoenix Tuner or will report loss of communication.

Any further advice on how to get this working Same thing happens to me.
The PCM must be connected to the CAN bus chain. I got those drivers and it sees my wheel now but the inputs look crazy.
