Re: WiFi Disconnect Issues

Is the 5v/12v converter plugged into the special 12v port on the Power Distribution Board (marked in attached image)?

Check your Driver Station logs to see how low the graph of the battery voltage is dipping.

You can also try tethering directly to the cRIO and putting a multimeter on the barrel connector used for the radio to see what voltage you are getting there when the motors kick in. Set the robot to push against a wall to provide resistance while not having to chase the robot to see the multimeter measurements.
