When I do a benchmark test of the Read 300 ADC I get a result of 5 reads per second. I know it use to be around 65. I thought it was because of the "Limited" WiFi message, but its not. I have changed to a different board and changed computers. Anyone know what I can try now? Thank you
I recommend revisiting my previous posts in this thread. Those services will not give a sign of high utilization - they merely slow the network communication.
Also, for highest performance you can limit the EZ-B's cpu by disconnecting the camera and limiting the amount of audio playback.
First, I consider myself a Non-Programmer. I do not have a camera connected and I am not using audio. I have no scripts running. I can see the graph pausing with only one adc graph running, with nothing else connected. I went into task manager and saw ARC running and a couple of other things running at a fraction of a percent. To me I did not see anything that would indicate to me that the computer was slowing things down, but then again I really do not know what I am looking for. I see this issue accross two different computers too. If I go to task manager what do I do? Should I just turn off everything running except ARC?
See my post #12. Run Resource Monitor, not just task manager, and look for spikes in disk I/O or network use that happen at the same time as the graphs freezing, then see what processes are responsible for those spikes. resource manger gives much more detailed information than task manager that just shows cpu and memory, but not disk or network use. (resource manager is a button on the "performance" tab of task manager".
If your graphs as freezing, then something is interfering. If it is happening on multiple devices on multiple computers, probably something on your network.
Are you using AP or Client mode on the EZ-B v4/computer? Might want to try AP mode to remove anything else on your network as a possible cause. (or when testing with the V3, turn off WiFi completely)

Thanks Alan, I will try these things tonight.
Did this start happening when you put up your Christmas tree or changed something in your house? I ask because I would guess that it has something to do with network interference. You may try rebooting your wifi access point or router.
I do not use a router or any of that stuff. I just have my computer connecting to the ez boards, trying to keep things simple. I do not have routers or cable for internet, I get to the internet through my cell phone.
I assume that your robot is close to your computer and still having the same issues.
Can you save your project to the cloud and try a app from your phone to run it? This will eliminate the computer as being an issue. If it is still slow, we will have a better idea that it isnt the PC causing the issue. Wifi cards in computers can go bad and they often display really weird issues just prior to failure.
There is no project to put on the cloud.
