Network Errors

[Maddog_3407]

Our team has been having some issues with our router. When we run the driver station, the robot sometimes lags and we get this error:

ERROR: NetworkTables data stream is corrupt: Don't know how to interpret marker byte ...in ReadTaskRun() in C:/WindRiver/workspace/WPILib/NetworkTables/Connection.cpp at line 422

I don't think the lag is due to the connection speed. The error above is thrown hundreds of times.

This error indicates that one side of the Network Table/Smart Dashboard is confusing the other with what it is sending. Have you tried running the dashboard but not SmartDashboard? That may help determine if the lag is related to the message.

Also identify the different network table implementations and see if any of them have updates that haven't been installed.
