Re: Driver Station connects using old laptop but not new one
Hey Gregg, could you elaborate on what the different is between the indicators on the diagnostics tab for Robot and the indicators in the middle under the battery voltage that say "Communications" and "Robot Code"? I understand that the diagnostic indicators are pings. Does "Communications" means its talking on the TCP and UDP ports to the process on the roboRio that then talks to the robot code?

Earlier today I had the diagnostic indicators on and could ping, but I couldn't get communications or robot code until I turned off my windows firewall. This is on an old Windows7 laptop. I'm not worried about it, just curious.
Brian
