Re: 2012 Field Comm. Issue Logs

Team 781 competed at Waterloo this past weekend. We have two Axis 1101 cameras connected to a classmate e09 ds (no image processing). At two matches I watched the field display screen and saw round trip times of 100-plus and accumulated lost packets in the hundreds of thousands (versus below 10/100 for the other teams). The field tech indicated that the two cameras were the cause. We will be switching to a faster laptop for the driver station, and would like to know if there is any way we can test this (e.g. Display trip times and lost packets) on our practice bot/field before we head to Queen City. I'll continue to research this, but I figured you folks would be able to provide specific guidance.

- Team 781
- Which event? Waterloo
- Wireless bridge radio HW revision? (A1, A2, or B1) A, can't verify A1 or A2 until I can get into it at Cincinnati.
- Radio firmware rev? I'll check at Cincinnati
- Programming language? C++
- Using a dashboard app? Regular Dashboard customized to display both camera images (could we have done this incorrectly such that we have initiated the communications issues ?)
- Using vision with Axis Camera and cRIO processing? 2 x m1101, no vision processing
- Using vision with driver station processing? No
- Did you have the radio mounted near motors/large metal structure? Mounted on a lexan panel near the battery
- Using classmate as driver station? Yes but hopefully not for much longer.
- 4 or 8 slot cRIO? (FRC-CRIO2 or Old version) 4 slot
- CAN Jaguars? What FW version? No CAN

Thanks
Pat
