Re: Connection Problem?

Team 1619 had a similar problem with our test chassis that we were able to solve, but it may have been a different cause than yours. Our robot kept losing communications, especially going over the bump, but we believed it to be a loss of power to the router since the D-Link light would turn red after we lost communications (as though it was rebooting). The computer never appeared to lose connection either, which was part of why we originally thought it was a computer or router problem.

We swapped routers and had the same issue, but found that swapping our Voltage Regulator Module solved the problem (at least until someone pulled a "Dukes of Hazzard" jump over the scoring platform and jostled the power connector free). Our best guess is that the one we had been using for testing was faulty, since it worked flawlessly after replacing it.
