another small SRV-1 firmware change
After further testing of the July 30 firmware update to correct camera issues, we've made one more small change, reducing the maximum frame capture retry count from 50 down to 10, which significantly reduces any time-out delays. The number might be reduced even further, but we haven't had a chance to test that yet. We encourage those who are working with SRV-1 source code to experiment with this.
Anyhow, it's a single line fix in the vicinity of line 291 of main.c. Just edit following line of code -
if (++retry_count > 50)
changing it to
if (++retry_count > 10)
Let us know your results with smaller retry_count numbers. We've posted an updated version of the firmware at
http://www.surveyor.com/srvdownload/srv1.hex.080106
Just download and save as srv1.hex, and follow the instructions on the SRV-1 setup page for uploading new versinos of firmware. Please let us know if you have any problems with this version.
