Transmitting data to the cRIO from the Driver's station via TCP/UDP

[plnyyanks]

More information was given about the open TCP/UDP ports available for use in Team Update 5 (section 2.2.8)

Once plugged in to the Field Management System via the Ethernet cable provided, the ports that the
teams will be able to access on the playing field are as follows:
– TCP 1180: This port is typically used for camera data from the cRIO to the DS when the
camera is connected to port 2 on the cRIO. This port is bidirectional on the field.
– UDP 1130: Dashboard-to-Robot control data, directional
– UDP 1140: Robot-to-Dashboard status data, directional
– HTTP 80: Camera connected via switch on the robot, bidirectional
– HTTP 443: Camera connected via switch on the robot, bidirectional
January 25, 2011All these ports are open on the playing field, so a team can use them as they wish if they do not
employ them as outlined above (i.e. TCP 1180 can be used to pass data back and forth between the
robot and the DS if the team chooses not to use the camera on port 2).

We successfully got communication between robot and driverstation using these ports to work in LabVIEW, so if you need a hand with that, let me know and I'll dig it up.
