Ok im having a head scratcher today. I connected Alan and Alena up to different laptops to run them simultaneously. One is an older Apple Mac Pro with bootcamp and Win 7. The other is an asus PC Laptop Win 10. Both are i7 quadcores both have 8 megs ram. Both are connected to the EZB via serial/usb using a osepp FTDI. Both are in maximum mode under power options:
BUT The Asus is running my recorders at half the speed as my Mac Pro. I have tried rebooting, changing com ports etc. I've killed and rebuilt animations with recorder, same issue no change. No background programs running either. Alan looks like he is in a slow motion movie "noooooooooooooooo"
When i move the robot over to the Mac running Win 7it runs at perfect speed as it should.
Question is:
What should I be looking for on the Asus that would be slowing down the data?
I cannot confirm the issue. Perhaps verify the computers are using the latest version of ARC and all plugins are up to date
Ok I’ll run some tests and collect data.
I don’t remember what version I was using back in late 2018 when I created those animations. But I’ll make sure every computer is updated to the latest ver and plugins and test again.
The plug-in uses the high resolution system clock - so I can’t see why it would run different speeds on different computers. Unless the computer is underpowered for the skills and features that are enabled in arc. Lots of resource hungry displays such as adc graphs and such may be a culprit. But generally ARC is pretty fast even on slow PCs
Yeah its a head scratcher...I think I even had issues on the original computer that I recorded them so might just be old versions of ARC /servo recorder on each of those laptops, as you suggested (both only 3 years old).
As far as the Latte Panda in the bartender robot...I have all 24 slots filled in the EZB ...so def putting the Panda through its paces. Good thing is if have to go to a more powerful computer I have plenty of room under his "skirt"
