Still having some watchdog issues

[Mageofdancingdr]

We are still having this problem at the Los Angeles regional. After combing through most of our code, we simply decided to start commenting out parts. The camera (only sending an image directly to the dashboard) was one of the main issues. We are currently trying to fix this but we may simply run day 3 without the camera because the hiccups give us a lot of penalties for leaving our kicker out. We are using C++ and have a fairly extensive system architecture, so that interaction with the camera may be part of the problem.

For anyone experiencing periodic system watchdog errors please see my posting here:

I have found that our problem with multiple system watchdog errors per minute was being caused by some issue with Intel's SpeedStep power saving scheme (on the Atom processor of the Classmate). By going into BIOS and disabling the SpeedStep and C-State options I was able to elimate our errors.

We do still have a system watchdog error when transitioning from Autonomous Enable to Disabled and TeleOp Enabled to Disable... more investigating to do.
