HELP! Robot Communication

We are having trouble with getting our robot to communicate with the controller. It will start jerking and get intermittent signals. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem. If anyone can suggest some different things to try or possible problems, I would love it.

Thanks

Re: HELP! Robot Communication

What type of Troubleshooting have you done? Like checking for a low battery?

Re: HELP! Robot Communication

We tried different batteries, but it all had the same problem. There have been many theories, such as a short (we checked) and there being not enough space around the wireless. I don't know where to go from here though.

It is lagging when it does work, so it makes me think there is something software, but I have no idea because I am on electrical/mechanical.

Is the power off the dedicated 5V (I think, check the Power Distribution diagram first) WAGO connector on the cRIO? If it's not, that could be the problem.

If I remember correctly, the wireless adapter is 12V?

Give us any other details about the setup and it could be interference from another source too.
