On our practice robot (before we started building the actual 2011 robot) we were using the veteran Axis camera with 2011 code. It would intermittenly lose connection or not connect at all when we cycled power to the robot. There would be an error in the Diagnostics driver station tab. I don't have the actuall wording, but I think it related to setting up the IP address or network settings of the camera as the robot was booting up. I remember that it said we were using an un-allowable name or character and it listed the characters that were allowed. We thought this might from the Begin VI, but we did not change the default IP constant or anything else, except the frame rate and compression constants. We think it might be that our crossover ethernet cable wiggles in just the right way to loose connection, since this has clearly caused problems before. But then why the unique error?
Thanks in advance for your help!! We meet again this Monday, so I will check back again then. We do have another cRIO connected to last year's robot that we could use to test any solutions out with. Our current robot is being built and can't be used yet.
