sigh.
I don't get frustrated, I get determined. Stop by and offer your 2 cents, if you have an idea.
Here is the reproducible issue: Set the robot on the field, it connects. Wait a few tens of seconds, it loses comm, the radio lights go solid blue. Reboot the robot, after it gets comm again, all is well for the rest of the match. (Without the reboot, it never reconnects. If that 'time' happens after the match starts, oh well, we "sleep".). No pattern as to who powers on first or last.

You've swapped out the entire cRIO modules and router and this still happens ? Did you swap out with a newer unit? |
