RoboRio Blinking Status Unrecoverable

[profmitchell]

Hello,

We are robotics team 9172 (rookie team) and have been having difficulties imaging our roborio. After using the roborio imaging tool, we tried to "Edit Startup Settings" and are getting a continuous blinking light suggesting that it is unrecoverable. Is there anything we can do at this time to get our roborio out of this state? Thank you

I use the "predecessor" to the RoboRio, called the myRIO.  Can you describe the pattern of the blinking lights?  [I'm not sure that NI uses the same "code" for its status lights, but I think I've seen it on two families of RIO boards].

By any chance, is it going blink-blink-blink (pause) blink-blink-blink (which I'll call the 3-blink, or "S", code)?  Is it blinking in a 2-blink ("I") code?  Or are they all equally-spaced blinks, with no "pauses"?

There are no pauses in between the blinks. Is there a number I can call for help? Or any other thoughts?

As a "robotics team", you should have a phone number or e-mail contact for NI Technical Support (or your sponsor should have one).  You probably need a roboRIO expert to help you ...
