Making a Dongle
 
Our team has lost our dongle, for the 2008-2009 robot, and we were curious if there was a website that had instructions on how to make a new one. Thank you for any help!

If teams need to make a replacement dongle or need additional spare dongles, a team-constructed dongle can be fashioned by connecting pins 8 and 9 of the competition port to a switch. NOTE: it is essential that the other pins of the connector be left unconnected, as some of the other pins contain power and/or ground accidentally shorting other pins of this connector can permanently damage the Driver Station. An inexpensive dongle (shown in the photo below) can be fashioned out of components readily available locally:
• PC Board Toggle Switch SPST
• D-Sub Connector 9 pin male
• D-Sub Connector Hood sized to fit
