FRC Driver Station - No Robot Comm

[Mark McLeod]

You can verify that the roboRIO firmware listed on the browser page is version 3.0.0f0

Are the status lights on the roboRIO front doing anything interesting?

I'd try with an older OS laptop if you can get one.

Let us know what it was if they get it working at tonight's meeting.

No one mentioned turning off the Windows Firewall. For me, even thought he driver station is in the firewall, exceptions, I still have to turn it off for the driver station to communicate.

Brian K,

That was the issue! It took a while for the students this evening to figure it out but once they turned off the Windows Firewall it worked!

P.S. I will try at home soon!

Yea, good catch!
I always turn off firewalls, antivirus, and software update managers as a matter of course.
