Re: Beta test teams: Has base processor utilization decreased?

We are also having some odd results ...
The log file shows that every few minutes, the lost packets goes up, latency goes up, and CPU usage actually goes down because there is less to process. My guess is that this is due to something on your laptop interfering with the communications. If enough packets are lost, the robot may be disabled or safety may shutdown drive motors.

I'd open up the Task Manager and see if you can identify a process that decides to index the hard drive, check for updates, or something else every few minutes. While it is possible that this is related to the cRIO, that seems less likely than the laptop.

If you figure out what it is, please post the results.
