Missing Data Packets
« Thread started on: Jan 5th, 2003, 10:08pm »
When the user modified program for the robot controller has a lot of slow computation to do, the program may not be ready to receive or send the data packet. The operator interface will send data every 25 ms. If the robot controler is bussy, it will miss the packet of new instructions. If this happens alot, thing may look as if something is wrong.
This is in respones to a request I made to Inovation First.
If you would like the PBASIC code for this, send email to me and I will return your message with the attachment.
Paul,
Here is a code example of a way to see if you have packet losses.
Download the code to the RC. Once you are linked, tap on the RC radio and you should see red lights flicker on the OI.
Keep in mind that it is a stripped version of our default code.
Regards, Mark Lambert
