Wireless Deployment / Ipconfig

[p00rleno]

Hey everyone, here's a quick heads-up.

As far as LabVIEW is concerned, it is possible to deploy over the robot's own wireless network, and without manually configuring your IP. The only drawback to not manually setting your IP to 10.xx.yy.6 is that you cannot use the dashboard VI, however wireless settings always work. Rough steps are below:

1: Enable the Linksys router's B/G bands to broadcast, without security of course.
2: Set the router up to DHCP addresses from 10.xx.yy.10 and up.
3: Connect your wireless PC or laptop to the network.
4: Deploy as usual! It's really that easy

This works because the cRio could care less about what IP it's receiving the program from, and it is unable to distinguish between a wireless communication as compared to plugging in.

This will save LOTS of time if you haven't caught on already. Nobody likes messing with ipconfig and all that, so just don't!
