5. CREATE SAMANTHA NETWORK CONFIGURATION FLASH DRIVES
Network configuration flash drives will be used to load the router configuration network keys and Samantha
firmware (Samantha.hex) onto the Samantha modules the teams will use on their robots.
6.1. Insert a USB flash drive into the FCS computer. Copy the “Samantha.Hex” file from:
C:\Program Files\Samantha Field Control
System\Samantha
To the flash drive.
These flash drives should be made before the event,
once the FCS router(s) have been configured for the
competition. It is recommended that you make several
copies of the flash drives.
6.2. There are two programs in the Samantha Field
Control System folder that must be run to
create the flash drives:
Samantha Competition Network Config
o Creates the primary (FTC_FIELD) network key folder FTCNTKY
Samantha Network Config
o Creates the secondary (FTC_PIT) network key folder: SMRTNTKY
Note: If you are not using FTC_PIT, you do not need to run Samantha Network Config.
