Re: DAP-1522

We ended up convincing the FIRST website to give us the file (After several corrupted ones) and it was all good.

Basically, this replaces the "Black Box" Wifi bridge from the robots in 2009-2010 IN ADDITION to the WRT router that we got for testing at home. The device works in access point mode as well as bridged mode.

As an access point, it is kind of like a switch with Wifi, this is how you test at home. Your programming laptops and driver station connect to the Wifi access point to control the robot.

As a bridge, it acts exactly like the old Wifi bridge except with 3 more ports you can use. I noticed the data/power diagrams this year show the Axis Camera plugged into the DAP instead of Port 2 on the cRIO. This might mean >1 camera which is cool for us seeing as we have two of them.

I am guessing you can use it in Wifi bridge with your routers from last year and get the same results as before, but I have yet to try it.

EDIT: Also, can I not edit my thread to reflect that the issue is solved?
