Last updated
Last updated
Starting in the VH-109 1.2.0 firmware release, teams will be able to validate RF performance in regards to their mounting configuration on their robot.
An RF performance indicator is displayed in both "Robot Radio" and "Access Point" modes.
When configured as an access point, additional details are displayed.
The connection quality levels are as follows:
| Quality Level | Pass/Fail |
|---|---|
Excellent (4 Bars) | Pass |
Good (3 Bars) | Pass |
Caution (2 Bars) | Pass |
Warning (1 Bar) | Fail |
When using a VH-109 in the team access point mode, ensure that the VH-109 is oriented such that the LEDs are facing toward the field and ethernet ports are facing toward the Red and Blue alliance stations. The VH-109 in the team access point mode should be placed at the scoring table position at an elevated position using the stand provided in the VH-109 -> VH-113 Conversion Kit
Navigate to the configuration page assigned to the team number at http://10.XX.YY.4/
The connection quality for the link should be "Excellent" or "Good". When "Caution" is displayed often, try an alternative mounting location for your radio based on the Mounting Your Radio guide.
When "Warning" is displayed, your radio MUST be moved to ensure a competitive experience during a match.
