Tutorial: Wireless ADB Setup for FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC)

This tutorial is for FTC Programmers using Java and Android Studio on a Windows machine. It shows three different ways to configure a Wireless ADB connection between your Software Development computer, and the ZTE Speed phone in your FTC robot.

This connection will enable you to wirelessly download new code into the robot, and use the live debug log to show diagnostics information on your PC. This will be invaluable for creating and testing autonomous OpModes.

The Turtorial introduces the three alternate Setup methods, and explains the reasons for choosing each one. Then the three methods are demonstrated as independent clips. Each clip has a color coded title page.

Each of these setups require commands to be issued from withing a Command Shell (CMD). However, avoid having to learn and remember a bunch of "Dos" commands, I have created and uploaded three Batch files. Each batch file is used to setup one of the three connection styles.

One or all of the files can be downloaded from the following Google Drive folder: http://bit.ly/1LUuTMc

So... Watch the tutorial introduction, choose the wireless style you want to use and then skip to the section that describes that setup procedure.
