Indicators on Driver Station

  • The “Communications” indicates whether the DS is currently communicating with the FRC Network Communications Task on the roboRIO (it is split in half for the TCP and UDP communication).
  • The “Robot Code” indicator shows whether the team Robot Code is currently running (determined by whether or not the Driver Station Task in the robot code is updating the battery voltage).
  • The “Joysticks” indicator shows if at least one joystick is plugged in and recognized by the DS.
