(How to fix) Timeout waiting for radio (FRC Radio Config Utility)
Hey! Robot programmers!
Got a "Bridge firmware loaded failed: Timeout waiting for radio. Make sure sure you have launched the .exe not the .jar. Try using a switch. Please reset the bridge and try again." Error?
Well we found a fix!
1. Open the Radio Config Utility folder. Should be in C:\Program Files (x86)\FRC Radio Configuration Utility
2. Launch "FRC Radio Configuration Utility.exe"
3. Select ethernet as network interface (Make sure your wi-fi card is disabled)
4. Input team number
Radio: OpenMesh
Mode: 2.4GHz AP
(Everything else change to your likings)
*IMPORTANT* MAKE SURE YOUR ROUTER DOES NOT HAVE POWER BUT, ETHERNET CABLE IS CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER (PLUG IN 802.3af POE)
Our team struggled here because we had the power plugged in.
5. At this point, you should only have the ethernet cable plugged in to the router. All lights should be off.
6. Click "LOAD FIRMWARE"
7. After it gives you this prompt:
"Preparing to load firmware
1) Plug the radio Ethernet ubti the PC,
2) Apply (or cycle) power to the radio.
3) If the power LED blinks, power cycle again."
Plug in the power to the router
8. Wait for it to be done flashing and press ok.
It should work. If it doesn't comment below your error. And we'll try to help you.
