Driver Station Troubleshooting
Common Issues
| Problem | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Robot won’t enable | Team number mismatch | Check DS team number |
| “No Robot Communication” | Bad network connection | Check Ethernet or radio power |
| Brownout events | Low battery voltage | Replace or recharge battery |
| Laggy control | High CPU usage on DS or roboRIO | Close background apps; check loops |
Diagnostics Tools
- Log Viewer in DS to view disconnects and brownouts
- Event Logs folder:
%Public%\Documents\FRC\Log Files - FRC Driver Station Log Viewer (WPILib tool)
Pro Tip: Always review logs after every match — many electrical or network issues show up there first!
