SOFTWARE BUG - Using new console with old robot
04/09/08 at 7:18am
 
Hi,
 
Recently i reported that i was losing frames when using my srv-1 robot which i thought was caused by interference or similiar..  
 
After alot of testing i have discovered that it was not the hardware.. but the software.. My University lecturer had a copy of the old Surveyor console that was released when this robot was out (the robot before blackfin) and when we tested that.. it was pretty much perfect in comparison.  
 
I then tried using the old consoles COM connection class files with the new srv-1 console .. and lo and behold it worked perfectly!  
 
I then changed it back to the new 1 just to confirm and it was again losing lots of frames...  
 
 
So i thought you guys may want to know that your new connection software doesn't fully support old robots Smiley.

The java code hasn't changed much between the ARM7 and Blackfin versions of robots, though we may have changed the timing a bit to deal with differences in radio speeds.  The old versions of java console are still found on the ARM7 robot download page, which is http://www.surveyor.com/srvdownload
