Re: Field lag please help
While in the pits, check the CPU usage on the robot, you can do this by plugging your computer into the radio with an ethernet cable and looking at the Charts tab while the robot is enabled. There is a legend, but I believe that CPU usage will be a red line. If this is at or near 100% you are doing to much processing on the cRIO for one reason or another, so it can't process incoming packets as fast, and therefore it can't process the joysticks as fast. Another thing to check in there is trip time and dropped packets, since you will be plugged into the radio, you should be able to see if it is a wifi or programming issue, because if it is wifi, the trip times will be way down, if it is programming, they will still be high.

Good Luck,
Oliver
