Re: Open Mesh Radio Config for Scrimmage (HELP!)

Thanks, Tanis. This is very helpful.

My understanding was the FRC config tool using bridge / competition mode sets the static IP of the bridge based on the Team Number field to 10.TE.AM.1, with an SSID of "TEAM". Are you recommending to use the config tool with a common entry for "Team" to configure the common SSID of the field AP? If this is nonnumeric, how does the tool set the radio's IP address? Doesn't this end up with the same static IP addresses for all of the radios? Or is there an extra step?

Do you require that teams assign static IPs to their RoboRios and any other networked devices on the robot? (i.e., IP cameras). If not, and you are not using vlans, you will not get DHCP addresses on robots on the 10.TE.AM.x subnets, right? Does this rely on mDNS to work?

We did manage to work around the LuCI web configuration / firmware stability issues by doing only a minimal mod to the 5GHz wifi web configuration to assign a common SSID and WPA key. Anything more involved seemed to make the radio lock up completely (unresponsive through the Web interface and cannot ssh into it any more).
