In my original post, I was using the XRP at the school where our FRC team meets.
I took the XRP home to see if I got a different response.
At home, the computer I’m using is hard wired ethernet to the internet. However it also has a wifi adapter.
I ran the same sample software, connected to the XRP via WiFi and upon doing so, a tab automatically opened in Chrome at this address:
https://www.msn.com/?ocid=wispr&pc=u477
But now if I type in 192.168.4.1 into the URL, I finally get the web page to control the XRP!
So there’s something at the school that seems to be blocking me from using the XRP in webserver access point mode.
And I’m not sure why the MSN page appeared since it’s not the default URL which opening a new tab is supposed to go to.
Any suggestions? I have no expertise in networking. In theory I could have our teacher ask the IT department about why it’s being blocked but I don’t even know what to ask at this point.
I have a sneaking suspicion that this is the same problem I have in trying to use Java/WPILIB on the XRP at the school which I posted about here:
I really need to find a solution to this because the whole reason we bought the XRPs was to teach robot programming to our FRC team
