Issue conencting the robot via WiFi

[deBrian07]

When I connect to the robot using WiFi, it didn't show any information from the robot. Does this DS work with robots that connect using WiFi? Or only with USB? I'm currently using a MacBook Pro M1 to run this program.

I've attached a screenshot of this situation after connecting to the robot via WiFi, please take a look.

Yes! OpenDS works with robots that connect over WiFi (/ethernet). The USB was actually an addon feature. This is probably an issue with the M1 Mac (/ARM platforms in general), which I haven't been able to get working yet as I haven't had time to work on OpenDS for a while and there have been some bugs. See #18 (and to a lesser extent #19) for more details - also let me know if the JAR in that thread works for you or it's confirmed a bigger issue. I will fix it as soon as I can!

[deBrian07]

The JAR in #18 works well for me, and I successfully installed the program. But I don't see anything appear in the shuffleboard. It does detect the joystick, but enable button is greyed out and it can't control the robot.

However, we tried it on a windows laptop and download the latest version, and it works fine.

[Boomaa23]

Yeah okay same problems as the previous issue. I will try to fix it soon!

Hey @deBrian07! I may have identified a bug while going through some other changes. Please let me know if this JAR works: open-ds-v0.2.4-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.zip

[deBrian07]

Hello, I tried the JAR file you attached, but I still get the same issue. When I connect the robot using Wi-Fi, the driver station still doesn't show any robot information. The shuffleboard is still empty, so I think it's not connected to the robot.

[Boomaa23]

If you try the JAR above on the windows laptop that you confirmed to work, does that work? Also can you run it (on both the windows and mac) from a terminal to see the debug output: java -jar (the path and name of the jar here) --debug

[deBrian07]

The older version works on Windows, but I'm trying to use it for my MacBook Pro M1. I'll try running it from terminal when I have access to the robot.

[Boomaa23]

Sounds good. Please also try the newer version (the jar in this thread) on the windows machine so I can see if it's a platform issue or internal issue.

[deBrian07]

I just tried it on my macbook with the robot, the log is showing, but the shuffle board and the enabled button still doesn't work. I tried both Wi-Fi and USB (I clicked the use USB button), but non of them works. When I connect using USB, the log says "Connecting using USB", but nothing else after. However, I do see an exception and some errors in the log. I've attached the log below.

[Boomaa23]

Please try the windows laptop as well with that same JAR (not the latest, the one from this thread)

[Boomaa23]

Actually, please try this one on both machines. I've updated the hotkey plugin so it should not throw that exception. open-ds-v0.2.4-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies-v2.zip

[deBrian07]

Got it, but I don't have access to the robot until Janurary, I'll make sure to test it on the robot once we get back. Thanks!

[Boomaa23]

Sorry one more time, please try this JAR when you get robot access: d49c019.jar

[Boomaa23]

Hi, just wanted to bump this. If you are no longer having this problem, please close this issue.

[deBrian07]

I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I didn't have a chance to try out the JAR file you sent in the last comment. I'll try it on the robot the following Monday if I get a chance. Sorry about that.
