Re: navX Issues

Please contact Scott, at Kauai

We had an odd occurrence at Waterford where when we connected to the field, we would not get telemetry data, but when we ran on the practice field, everything worked. I replaced the Navx with a second unit, I had, on Friday at Waterford, we also added an old gyro, and rewrote our autonomous scripts, to use the gyro data. We ran all day Saturday with program working off gyro, while logging the navx data too.

The Navx worked all day Saturday in logs.

The suspect board, was found to have an old firmware, but Scott said that should not have been a problem.

We have not used that board on our comp bot, but it is on our practice bot.

We ran our second event at Marysville last weekend, and the Navx worked all weekend.

There is a tech note, to use a USB cable from the roborio to the navx, to prevent brownouts from taking the Navx down, if you do not have that installed, I would suggest that you do.
