Re: Correct Robot Network Architecture
It sounds like we may just want to ditch the switch for regular match play and only use it for the practice field. Such a tiny AP is great, I just wish it had 3-4 ports. I'm certainly open to any other theories, but this one is easy enough to test.
I'll also make the effort to see if the alternative configuration makes a difference, so that we may be able to use that for off-field testing. Parallel USB to roborio and ethernet to camera tethering wasn't working reliably for whatever reason, so that still begs a solution even if removing the switch fixes the issue under FMS control.
As far as the laptop being used for the driver's station, we haven't tested another machine, but that variable hasn't changed over the course of the season. We did check the power use settings to verify that it wasn't adjusting network settings as a power saving measure.
