Re: D-link dropping out

We've also been having a bridge issue in our tests, and we think it was solved. Basically, when we'd enable, our robot would keep constantly "losing communication". I say that in quotes, because on the Driver Station of things, it doesn't show that, it still says the robot is enabled, battery voltage still shows, etc... Just we lose split second connection, almost as if our robot is constantly disabling itself, while the DS shows it as enabled. Our compressor basically goes on and off, as do motors and everything. The only errors we were getting on our DS were Watchdog errors, reaching numbers as high as the 200s, and each watchdog error would coincide with "loss of communication"

We swapped out our bridge (both were RevA) and reset it and it seemed to keep working, but this issue just appeared all of a sudden.
