Re: Radio takes really long to connect.
That is a standard boot up time for a router. Usually routers take a long time to configure their internal radio at startup, get stored variables inserted in RAM, and other startup things that can take a while. We have our router in AP mode, so that we can connect directly to the robot.
As this boots up, the cRIO is booting in sync, and usually takes longer to initialize everything, and then even longer to detect Robot Code.
One solution: If you need to restart your robot, press either the Reboot cRIO button on the Driver Station, or push the hardware reset button (located near the ethernet ports) on the Robot end. That way you never have to fully power down your robot. The hardware reset works all the time, even if estopped, while the software reset works some of the time, glitches and estop excepted.
