Re: wireless communication sparatic/dangerous

I have to ask, are you using the power module supplied in your KOP to power the DLink from the regulated 12 volt radio output of the Power Distribution board? You cannot use a normal output of the PD for this purpose. Second question, is your Dlink buried inside the robot surrounded by metal, motors, Crio, wiring? The Dlink needs to be away from such devices so that they don't interfere with the radio communications.
