Robot communication issues
Hey folks!
4607 has been working on testing out the new control system updates and firmware. I have been the one working on this and have hit a brick wall when it comes to connecting to a robot. When I open the driver station and connect to the robot through either wifi or tethered USB/Ethernet, we notice a strange thing happen. The connection lights in the driver station come on for a brief second, then the robot communication indicator halfway goes off (it's red and green side by side). Everything then goes back to red and acts like there is zero connection. However, when I open the diagnostics tab, both the Robot and Robot Radio indicators are green, yet robot comm and code are red and I cannot drive. The battery voltage is also not present and just shows the red box. What's weird is that I can still deploy code to the robot even when the driver station won't show us that it's connected and ready to drive. There are rare times where I will open the driver station and the comm indicator will go green, cut to red, then come back about 20 seconds later and i'm then allowed to drive. The only surefire way to get connection with the robot is immediately after freshly imaging the Roborio. Here are the details of what we are running: Laptop: Lenovo Thinkpad E560 OS: Windows 10 Pro x64 Roborio image: 2017 v8 (current) Installed update suite: 2017.0.0 (current) Robot Radio: OpenMesh AC, programmed from new bridge tool (new 2017 version) We have multiple laptops that have been tried and we still get the same results. If anyone has seen this issue yet or knows how to fix it, we'd greatly appreciate the help. We have had no issues at all with robot communication until we upgraded to the 2017 FRC software and radio. This is my fourth year of programming with 4607, and I haven't noticed something like this before now. I wanted to bring this issue forward in case we are discovering a potential firmware issue or other problem. Hopefully we can get it figured out and maybe help others with a similar problem. |
