I would like to use this stress test but it is not showing up in the add new robot skill. I am running the latest version of ARC. Am I looking in the wrong spot?
Hey Dave! I had the same problem. LIke CS mentioned you need to force a list update. I did it following the instructions at the link provided and the skill showed up ad EZB Stress Test in the General tab.
Good luck. I'd very much like to see your results and what tests you used.
Currently I'm having Com problems (I have my three EZBs hooked up the the mini computer through USB to TTL converter cables). This test is aiding me in narrowing down and targeting the issue.
EDIT: BTW the list .txt file they mention that need to be deleted in in a hidden and protected folder. It was on my win 11 OS anyway. If you can't find it you'll need to set Windows to show Hidden system files.
Hello Dave. I’ve had the same problem for a while, but my EZBs are connected through Wi-Fi instead of USB. I’ve been following your thread to see if you found a solution. I finally had a few minutes today to test, so I’m going to download and run the stress test to see if I get different results.
I had my EZB's attached through WIFI for a long time before I switched over to the USB / Serial connection. In the beginning I had bad disconnects from my home network. I did the following and never had a problem again with WIFI:
*Made sure there was a strong wifi signal. I put a high quality WIFI extender near the robot. I really thing the best now is the Eero mesh system.
*Bought the latest v4 x/2 EZB ( I was running the old v1 at the time).
*Updated all my firmware in the EZB's
*Bought a good up to date router. I was running a very old router in my house Many years old and this was over 10 years ago.
*Went into my router and gave each EZB on my network a static address.
After doing this stuff my WIFI connection s to my EZBs were rock solid for many years.
However the other day I tried reverting to WIFI for one of my EZBs and it would disconnect every few hours. Probably due to my current issue.
Also I found in the early years that if I had two EZB's too close to each other that were connected to WIFI they would interfere with each other's signals.
I had the next ARC update include a button that will force a robot skillplugin list update. So that way you don't have to delete the file.
I'm not sure what's stopping ARC from knowing there's a new plugin and getting the whole list. I mean, it does it to check for updates anyway so... maybe that's something to have looked into as well.
Robot skill list is updated on a schedule. If you wish to force an update, this support page will help you: https://synthiam.com/Support/ARC-Overview/robot-skills/Syncing-and-Updating-Robot-Skills
