so my question still stands, can the dlink be reprogrammed to work with the 2016 software?

We have been using the 2015 router with a 2016 RoboRio. I believe that we re-flashed the router using the new bridge configuration tool. I'm not sure though, I can get more information on Tuesday. Good luck.

The 2016 FRC Radio Configuration tool has a setting to program the older DLink for use with this year's robot.
Follow the directions in programming radio for home use in screensteps.

Yes. The old Dlink works with the new 2016 environment. We are using just that for our software development platform.

For home/shop use only, can you not just use any router that can provide DHCP to your RoboRio and your driver station laptop?

[Mark McLeod]

Yes, you can use any router you want to at home.
It's just a router/AP, nothing special.
You don't even have to change the router IP to a 0. address, it's just usually convenient to do so.
DHCP serving 10.te.am.20 and higher addresses (or similar) is all that's necessary.

I use all my old outdated home AP/router/DSL/whatever to run old robots.

What happened to Team 358's website?

We had bookmarked lots of good info, back during Fall 2016; and, then every time we wanted to refer to some info on your website for the past 6 weeks it was gone....the whole site, in fact.

Thanks,

About 2 weeks into build season our hosting service couldn't handle it any longer, so we are switching to a new service.
But with how busy build season is I just haven't had time to redirect the nameservers.
It'll get done soon, after I've had a bit of a rest.
