הסבר קצר על Status Light
Many of the components of the FRC® Control System have indicator lights that can be used to quickly diagnose problems with your robot. This guide shows each of the hardware components and describes the meaning of the indicators. Photos and information from Innovation FIRST and Cross the Road Electronics.
A compact and printable Status Light Quick Reference is available.

If a PDP LED is showing more than one color, see the PDP LED special states table below. For more information on resolving PDP faults see the PDP User Manual.
הערה
Note that the No CAN Comm fault will occur if the PDP cannot communicate with the roboRIO via CAN Bus.

Voltage Regulator Module
The status LEDs on the VRM indicate the state of the two power supplies. If the supply is functioning properly the LED should be lit bright green. If the LED is not lit or is dim, the output may be shorted or drawing too much current.
