mDNS works independent of DHCP or static IPs. It uses a device or service name to locate the IPs of the devices you are looking for.

The DHCP servers, to this point do not do anything special to allocate IPs. That is, of course possible, and you are also able to statically assign IPs that are in the subnet that the DHCP server will never hand out.

I would not recommend taking a guess at what the DHCP server handed out based on order of request.

By the way, the recommendations for this are still in work, so sorry if I'm being vague.

Beta testing update: We've done nothing!

Well ok, we've done a lot, but not much beta testing for a while now. Some of the reasons can be found in our latest blog post.

A while ago, we posted about our 'Cable Magic' to help hold the PWM/IO cables in place with the new RoboRIO.

Today, we have released the CAD files for this. If you make it and try it out, please let us know how you go.

Could you post a JPEG/PNG picture on your site? Not all of us have the cad programs installed...

Sorry, there were photos in the original post about it, so I didn't put any up in this one.

Here is one image though:

Thank you. I'm interested in this, we'll have to see if we can print one ourselves.

For those of you at home still playing along, we have released a video overview of the 2015 Control System components and some of our findings over here.

Please remember, this is based on the beta system, and things may change in the final system released to teams.

Re: WildStang 2015 Beta Testing blog
 

Way back when beta testing was still a thing, we created a couple of boards for the MXP. In December/January, we finally had time and space to build up one of each, and this week we managed to fire them up for a quick test.

For completeness, we have posted some pictures of the final boards on our blog here.
