Smile Re: Joystick lag with DS being idle.
hello,

After installing Ver.2.0 there are no issues with the joystick lag. Monitoring the serial communications from the cRio reveals a check for dead packets and a subsequent resynch with the DS.

Problem resolved!

Maybe I spoke too soon. The serial port showed hundreds of "Packet Loss Error... lost 5" errors. The joystick delays returned, and no DS resynch occurred until the DS was reset by disconnecting the power.

Please be conscious of how long the DS has power applied before driving your robot. It may save you a match.
