[FTC]: Bluetooth Problem with LabView/FTC Controller Station

This is actually expected (albeit annoying) behavior.

Can I ask you to confirm exactly which software you are referring to? Is it the one with the two pictures of joysticks which ships with LabVIEW, or the FMS, or are you one of the beta testers of the new FCS?

Thanks,
Ben

Ben, if you're asking me, we are using the one with the two pictures of joysticks that ships with Labview.

Thank you to everyone for your advice, I've passed it along to my team and will let you know if we get it up and running today!

I just wanted to drop you guys a note and thank you for the help. By working with the bluetooth dongle, the NXT Brick and the controller station software on a different version of Windows, we were able to narrow this problem down to an operating system problem. We have someone checking into the updates (or lack thereof) on our team laptop, so this problem should be resolved when those updates are sorted out.

I haven't been there for a few meetings due to other commitments, so this is second hand information. If people are interested I can unearth the specifics and post them...

Thanks again for the advice everyone!
