Team 3792 Army Ants has a roboRIO 2.0 with a faulty RJ-45 connector. The USB-B port still functions and we can communicate with the RIO, but connecting to the VH-109 radio from the RJ-45 port doesn't work. We are due at the Championship in Houston next week, so this is perhaps a bit of a rush. Please advise. Thank you.
Yes. My apologies, I didn't realize someone had already opened the other thread. To sum up the current situation, this roboRIO's RJ-45 connector is non-functional. It never shows any connection lights when a full connection is made. Neither NI MAX nor the NI Device Manager ever detect a connection other than via the USB-B connector which appears to be fully functional.
Could you please connect the roboRIO directly to the laptop using an Ethernet cable? Let us know if the Ethernet lights turn on, and if they do, describe how they are turning on. Additionally, please try using different cables, just in case.
