Running code wirelessly

[megmeg]

I need help running the program on the robot. How do I send the program through the D-Link? Or do I have to hook up the computer directly to the cRIO? I just started programming this year and there aren't any members with programming experience any better than mine on our team. If anyone can walk me through this I'd really appreciate it.

you can setup the D-Link to act as an access point. There is a guide to configuring your D-Link. http://www.usfirst.org/sites/default..._08_13_195.zip

Thanks, the link was very helpful. However, when I try to configure the bridge, it shows this,
"Configuring computer IP address
Checking for bridge at expected IP addresses
Bridge found at default IP address
Bridge login failed"
Do you have any suggestions for how to fix this?

You need to do a hard reset. The utility or the setup instructions should have instructions. I can't remember how off the top of my head.

I followed the instructions for resetting it in the bridge configuration tool, but after I did it, that is the message it gave me. I'm not sure if I didn't do the reset correctly or what, but it still hasn't worked.

Try setting the configuration tool to run as administrator in compatibility mode for Windows 7. Even if you're using Windows 7 already. For whatever reason, bridge configuration wouldn't work for me on the classmate until I did so.

Im just curious... Do you have DHCP setup on the dlink and if not did you set ur computer to a static ip of 10.XX.YY.ZZ (XX.YY is your team number and ZZ is what number you want that isn't 1, 2, 9, or 11)

To COMPLETELY reset the D-Link, do the following:

1. Hold the reset button for 30 seconds while it is still turned on
2. Unplug the D-Link while still holding the reset button. Hold it for another 30 seconds
3. Plug it back in while still holding the reset button.

That should do it.

The default address of the D-Link is 192.168.0.50. You should statically set your IP to something like 192.168.0.51. So:

192.168.0.51
255.255.255.0
192.168.0.50
8.8.8.8

Then run the utility and you should be all set.

What is DHCP? My computer is set to 10.36.59.6, but it hasn't worked so far.

I tried to do this, but the configuration utility keeps putting a pop-up that says,
"Bridge configuration failed: Bridge login failed
Please reset the bridge and try again"
Then when I close the pop-up it keeps giving me the same message that I posted before.
