[xio]

No, the stations aren't connected at the same time. We tried restarting the robot as well without success. Basically, we move the cable from one DS laptop to the other and always one works and one doesn't.

We didn't check the CPU level. However, as this is a pretty old laptop I did wonder if maybe there might be a race condition in the DS software - that is, maybe the software is reaching out to the cRIO but the response isn't actually reaching the DS software until it times out. Not really sure how to test for that though.

Thoughts?

Anyway...thanks for the quick replies.
