We can run tethered by connecting an ethernet cable from the router to the computer. Then the communications and robot code are green and we are driving. I can ping the CRIO when we are tethered. The CRIO works great tethered.
(I didn't upgrade the CRIO image to this year yet until we get our second CRIO working so it is running last years.)
I'm not at the robot right now but I'll try pinging the CRIO when we are wireless when we get there tomorrow.
So are the steps for running wireless normally:
1. Turn on robot with the wireless router. (CRIO connected via ethernet cable to router. Both CRIO and router must have power) The router must have a beautiful blue light when it is ready.
2. On the drivers station computer set ip address 10.xx.yy.9 when we are trying to run wireless. (It is 10.xx.yy.5 when running tethered)
3. On drivers station computer connect to the wireless router on the robot. Note: You will get a warning about limited connectivity but I assume that is ok since we can't access the internet through the robot
4. On drivers station computer bring up the drivers station. It should automatically then connect to the robot.
Do those sound like the correct steps?
