What is causing a vexcode v5 download to robot error?

While my code compiles and builds without problem, when I try to download to robot, I get an error saying “[error]: download error”. What could be causing this problem?

Are there any other applications open which talk to V5 brains (V5 blocks, vexOS utility, etc)?

I have VCS, but VCS is not compiling anymore

it is not open right now though

Yeah, I know the competition is like really soon, but if it works use blocks for now. I get it how you might say “but i havent lost that much dignity” but this isnt about dignity. if it works it works.

never mind dishan, I just realised that our cable was absolutely screwed over. The cable was frayed on the inside
