Every time we drive our robot, we noticed we lose wifi between the robot and the driver station every ten seconds repeatedly (When connected directly, don’t have issue). We were wondering if anyone has experienced this issue or knows how to fix it. Thanks!
That’s usually a background task attempting to connect to the Internet and briefly taking over the WiFi periodically.
In the past it’s been things like auto updaters, checking for virus updates, and such like.
Look at the Task Manager process list sorted by CPU % and see if something pops to the top when it happens.
It can also be interference with school network APs or other devices that are in conflict for the same channel and they keep trying.
I have experienced something similar caused by interference from the school’s wifi. I used an Android phone app called “wifi analyzer” to see the active wifi networks. One network that shared the wifi channel with our robot would surge in strength every so often (I don’t remember the exact frequency). We lost connectivity with every surge.
We solved it with a long ethernet cable.
I hope that helps
