~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The `REV Driver Hub <https://docs.revrobotics.com/duo-control/control-system-overview/driver-hub-specifications>`__

described below for a REV Driver Hub, also apply to a using an Android phone as a DS.

Changing the Name
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In order to comply with the Competition Manual, the name of the Driver
Station (DS) smartphone should be changed.
Station (DS) should be changed.
Configure devices for your team number. The ROBOT CONTROLLER, DRIVER STATION, and any spares used must be configured/named to correspond to the correct team number as follows:

This can be done in the DS app, as described below.
A. ROBOT CONTROLLER should be named <team number>-RC (e.g., 12345-RC),

As an alternate, :ref:`found here <programming_resources/shared/configuring_android/Configuring-Your-Android-Devices:Renaming Your Smartphones>`
show how to rename a smartphone using the Android Settings activity of
the phone.
B. DRIVER STATION should be named <team number>-DS (e.g., 12345-DS), and

C. If a spare ROBOT CONTROLLER or DRIVER STATION is configured, a letter designator may be added <team number>-<letter>-RC/DS (e.g., 12345-A-DS, 12345-B-DS)

Check the current Competition Manual for the rules related to *Control, Command & Signals System*.

The Driver Hub name can be changed in the DS app, as described below.

.. note:: The steps below are mostly the same if you use an Android phone for your driver station.

If you are using phones for your control system :ref:`this link <programming_resources/shared/configuring_android/Configuring-Your-Android-Devices:Renaming Your Smartphones>`
shows how to rename a smartphone using the Android Settings activity of
the phone.

.. tip:: Troubleshooting

If you see a yellow circled exclamation icon on your DS screen and touch it, a message will pop up
temporarily and say "*DS* does not match *DS*, see the FTC Competition Manual".
Note: *DS* is the current name of the Driver Station, and *RC* is the current Robot Controller name.

This is because the DS and RC names do not match. You should change both names to include your team
number as indicated above, as required by the Competition Manual.
