release candidate for SRV-1 firmware and SRV1Console ...

We've posted a release candidate for SRV1Console and corresponding SRV-1 firmware that support the new communication protocol and adds the two command line options for SRV1Console: -c (connect on startup via last comport used) and -p portnum (change port number for webcamsat from default 8888)

The frame rate problem seems to have been resolved, failsafe mode has been added (in place of "avoid") to turn off motors if the robot hasn't heard from the base station for more than 1 second, issues with 320x240 resolution seem to have been addressed, and general responsiveness to commands seems to have improved. Note that "wander mode" is still limited to 160x128 resolution.

Here are the download links - please post your comments on the Surveyor Robotics Forum.
