Using the DAP in the pits

[rwood359]

Is it legal to use the DAP in the pits by turning off wireless on the DS and tethering it to the DAP? We are running the camera through the DAP and I don't want to lose the camera feed in the pits. We could power the DAP off and plug all the ether net devices into a simple router, but that is not very practical.

Yes this is perfectly fine, you are not creating a wireless network. This is what my team does: The programming laptop and the Driver-Station both are tethered to the KoP 2011 Bridge on the robot, and I test my code by running it inside the pit if I cannot go to the practice field. Your setup should work fine for communication if IP Addresses are right.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping.
