Re: Why does RobotPy take longer to deploy?

A minute and a half? Thats just obnoxious... I had 30sec deploy times and I still didn't like it..

I followed this tutorial to flash the router. I also realized, after doing that, that theres a "download firmware" button on the program thats used to assign team numbers to routers. Can't speak for its efficiency since I haven't used it, though.

Before going down this route, though, answer this question- is you're code stalling right between "Robot code deploying" (or whatever) and "WPILib version on robot is 2016.0.0"? Or is there a consistent 5-10sec delay between EVERY step. (If the former, there might also be a long delay near the end, but I'm not sure what debug lines it is between). The former is the issue that was resolved with the reflashing of the router. The latter is probably an issue with the CPU on the programming laptop.
