Radio configuration and upgrade¶
The radio configuration page is at http://192.168.69.1/. Unfortunately, some radios on older firmware versions do not respond. Try to connect to http://10.0.1.1/ instead.
Once the radio is configured as a team 2022 radio, the configuration page will move to http://10.20.22.1.
The firmware version is at the bottom of the configuration page. If there is no firmware version on the configuration page, the firmware version can be found at http://10.0.1.1/status or http://192.168.69.1/status.
Any radio with firmware version less than 1.2.6 has bugs that can brick the radio. Upgrade the firmware as soon as possible.
Unless you can’t connect normally, don’t set a static IP.
Upgrade instructions¶
Download firmware from Vivid Hosting
Power on the radio
You can power it via PoE or from the robot
PoE is “Power-over-Ethernet”
To set up PoE, plug a PoE-supporting Ethernet cable into the wall power supply and plug in the other end to the RIO port on the radio
Plug an Ethernet cable in to your laptop
Plug the Ethernet cable into the “DS” (driver station) port of the radio
Go to the radio configuration page (http://192.168.69.1/ or http://10.0.1.1/)
Upload the firmware file to the configuration page (see the Vivid Hosting docs for more info)
Standard configuration for FRC#2022¶
Team number: 2022
SSID suffix:
VH#where # is a numberDo it in order - see the list
WPA key: see the other radios
Make sure to label the SSID and WPA key on the radio.
Enabling 2.4GHz Wi-Fi AP¶
Robot radios can work as 2.4GHz Wi-Fi APs, just like the old OMP radios. To set this up, flip the 3rd dip switch on the back of the radio to ON. On newer radios there’s a label next to this switch that says “2.4GHz AP”.
