Frustrations With 2013.03.18.00

I'm really struggling with this version 2013.03.18.00 anyone else got these problems? and yes I realise some of these changes have been with us a while in earlier versions but ARC stability and connection stability is getting worse. It used to be really rock solid now I'm getting screen freezes and odd behaviour that was never there before.

  1. Controls panels move all over the desktop and sometimes they freeze and you can't drag them to where you want while others you can
  2. The constant popping up of the connection dialogue screen is a real nuisance
  3. The worst thing though is the Horizontal and Vertical servo scroll where you have to drag with your mouse to control a servo position. I realise this is probably great for touch control screens but it takes nearly 3 full sweeps to get from on end of the servo travel to the other.

I much preferred the old servo control sliders. (If I could request just one thing it would be this)

No problem:) Can you provide me with a sample project that raises the debug message "Disregard incoming buffer" ?

This is the message I get (edited below) I also uploaded the project which is a modification of Rich's Pingoroam. One other thing this is a V2.1 board might try my V3 board later.

Just noticed it says 'disgard' not 'disregard' incoming buffer if that helps

It starts off all ok then just gets progressively more problemactic

Attempting connection on COM8 Connected to COM8 at 9600 EZ-B reports EZ-B Firmware V16 Connected Disgard incoming buffer (This should never happen) Disgard incoming buffer (This should never happen) Comm Err: The operation has timed out. BbytesToExpect: 1

excellent. Man, I can't believe you're running a v2.1! That is so awesome:) You've been around here for a while!

I have a v2.1 in my Omnibot also. I think I only have 2 of them... which is kind of sad because those are the ez-b prototypes - might be worth something someday!

I'll take a look at the project and see if I can find out what "disgard" meant to me in 2011:D

Yes people may come and go but I'm still here

Just tried a simple project for a few hours and it all worked flawlessly. No camera though I'll add a camera control tomorrow and see what happens

:)
