I’m a new programmer for our team. I understand there are docs at docs.limelightvision.io. I’m stuck on the Imaging step. What .zip file do i choose/look out for?
the image file that you download from the downloads page
2020.0?
keeps saying i failed the flash
Is there an error code or something? Is your Limelight setup from a previous year?
No just this year
Doesnt say any error code
Aaron,
Can you re-download Etcher from the downloads page? The 2+ actually requires the newest version which was linked on our site very recently.
i have the regular 2 not the 2+
regardless, i’m able to download etcher multiple times (lag made it 3 extra copies)

99% of the time flashing problems are caused by a faulty USB cable or a USB cable that doesn’t have the data lines (charging only cable).
just got it flashed, now moving onto the networking
I think this is ok. you only need it if you intend to connect to the limelight with an mDNS address e.g. http://limelight.local:5801
Otherwise you can use limelights ip finder tool and hard code those ip addresses (for now)
stuck on this step, i’m not able to connect to limelight.local:5801
Don’t connect to the mdns address. Instead, connect to the 10.TE.AM.xx:5801 where xx is found using the limelight finder tool.
on LL finder i see
Broadcasting (10.16.65.32)
Perfect put “:5801” after that address and you should be good to go
so enter this in the web address bar
limelight.local.10.16.65.32:5801
the robot’s currently wired as
radio <-> rio via ethernet
radio <-> laptop via ethernet
LL <-> PDP
Nope, just use 10.16.65.32:5801 . Limelight.local is an mdns domain, totally separate from an IP address, which doesn’t use mdns at all. Usually IP is more reliable.
