OM5P-AN Radio Trouble

[tyler9698]

Our programming team is having trouble configuring the radio. The specific error is :
Bridge Programming Sequence Failed
Failed to change IP address, please check for an adapter with the address : 192.168.1.51
We have already changed our sharing settings, switched our Ethernet, and ran the program as an administrator.

What type of power supply are you using? Because ours would not work because we where using a 5 volt power supply and this radio requires 12 volts.

12 Volts

That error message means the PC being used either will not let it's IP address be changed (can be blocked by third party security tools) or the IP address is already assigned to one of the other PC existing network adaptors.

Try Disabling all other network adaptors and leaving only the Local Connection 1 Enabled, and try changing the IP address (to 192.168.1.51 ) by hand to see if it gives you an error message.

I already changed the IP on my ethernet, but didn't disable my other adapters. Will see if disabling does anything tomorrow.

Even if you disable the other adapters it will still throw that error because an adapter is using that IP. Go into the ipv4 settings of every adapter and make sure that they all have a dynamic IP

We were having the same issue and turning off our wireless adapter fixed the issue (we only had two adapters, wireless and ethernet)

I also had an error configuring the radio (not sure if it was the same one or not). Then, I tried updating the firmware first, and then it worked.

If I remember correctly (I might not), the new radios don't come with firmware by default, and you have to load the firmware yourself. There's a guide somewhere that tells you how to do it.

Radios recieved in the KOP are already flashed with the FRC firmware and should not need to be re-flashed, proceed to the next step.
From the Screensteps guide for configuring the radio (http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/4485/m/13503/l/144986-programming-your-radio-for-home-use).

This was the KOP radio, so it should be already flashed.

I had the same issue. This is what I did to fix it.

There was also lots of rebooting.

Disabled the othe adapters and got it to work. 4 hours of stress later I can finally use wifi.

Only 6 more weeks of stress plus intense stress during competition left to go :)
