Re: Static IPs on the field

This worked in the past (and should currently work too):

1) Static IP Address on the RoboRio 10.x.y.2
2) DHCP on the Radio
3) Static IP Address on the 1st Camera 10.x.y.12
4) Static IP Address for the DS Hard Wire Connection 10.x.y.5
5) Dynamic IP Address for the DS WiFi

The only time DS is connected by hardwire is when it is tethered to the robot, or the FMS system. So, no IP Conflict ever happens.

When the DS is connected by Wifi, it is either to the Robot, or the School's Wifi. Either the Radio or the School's wifi gives it an IP address, so there is no conflict.

If some people use a hardwire internet connection, that could be a problem.

Note: We have 4 DS, and they never talk to each other directly, so there is no IP conflict.
