Driver Station Preparation

  • Update FRC Driver Station, get the latest software from NI.
  • Update the RoboRIO (or SystemCore) firmware to the latest version, make sure code is deployed and tested after this.
  • Turn off Wi-Fi. Laptops have issues with FMS connectivity when enabled.
  • Ensure IPv6 is disabled. To do so, go to Control Panel / Network and Internet / Network Connections, right-click on the ethernet adapter, click properties, and disable Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6). If you don't, an FTA will likely do it for you before your first match, so do it beforehand to make things easier.
  • Make sure you have a charger and ethernet adapter if needed!
