Re: Watchdog and Communication Issue

Ok, so we took the robot across the street to a parking lot, and the connection was flawless. We pinged it and got an average response of 2ms. We are going to pop some chains on the robot and then test it outside. I’m hoping our problem was just interference within the school. I'll post again with the results.

We are using that 12V slot for the digital sidecar. There is only a 24 and 5 volt slot left.

The special 12v output is for the 12v-to-5v power converter for the DLink.
The digital sidecar gets power from one of the regular red/black wago pairs.

That's the same thing the team in Duluth was doing. Swap the wires around, the digital sidecar can be powered from the 20A breaker without a problem.
