DAP-1522

[Radical Pi]

For those of you who have the DAP running already, how does the classmate handle connecting to the DAP in AP mode? Does it have any trouble with the on/off cycles that happen on the robot?

Unless changed, the win7 profile for the laptop should reference the SSID of robot dlink, and it should be set to auto-connect. If for some reason, you start doing things manually, this is a step you may want to include.

To bad the Radio Instructions have you change the SSID in AP mode.

The trick to set the SSID with the DAP-1522 in BRIDGE mode is to select SETUP and then WIZARD in the DAP-1522 web interface. Through the wizard interface you can set the SSID to your team number. Otherwise you need to set the SSID in AP mode, then switch back to BRIDGE mode.

Since most DSes will only be used for one team, it shouldn't matter much once the profile on the DS is updated.

As a note, for competition you must set the DAP into the bridge mode.
As a special highlight, you may now tether through the DAP when it is connected. No more disconnecting the radio from the Crio to program and then forgetting to plug it back in on the field. I saw a demonstration (over the weekend) of the new setup tool teams will be using to set WPA encryption at events. It is very good and simple to use. Teams will need to bring their DAP to the setup kiosk (laptop) at each event to set the key. On screen instructions are provided during setup to help you walk right through it.

Wait, what?

Are you saying that we will be permitted to leave the DAP powered up when running the robot in the pit?

[Al Skierkiewicz]

The decision on that is still being evaluated, please standby for official declaration on wireless use in the pits at events.
