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
The thing you are using is a project. It is an ARC project. Publish it to the ez-robot cloud and then open it from your phone and connect to your robot. See if it is still reporting only 5 refreshes per second.
Try without the camera connected and see what you get.
Also, sometimes the benchmark can flood the data channel on that board and disconnect. Is it disconnecting?
@ purple . This is may sound like a dump question, have you power cycled both computer and EZB board.
Also might want to check you wifi properties to make sure the auto power saver is disabled.
First, thank you all for trying to help me. Here is something that I think may help, if I run the Benchmark and read 300 adc values I get 3 to 5 per second. I can change that to 23 to 30 per second if I run the Connection Diagnostic plugin at the same time. Then when I close the Connection diagnostic plugin, I am right back to 3 to 5 per second, max. Then if I open and run the connection diagnostic, at the same time, I get 23 to 30 per second again. I can go back and forth. I do not have anything connected to the ez-b. No cameras, no audio, just a bare board, nothing. I have looked at the resource graphs in task manager and do not see anything that shows resources being used. Nothing looks out of the ordinary. This also does this with different ez-bs and different computers and at different locations. The only thing that I keep thinking is the 'Limited' indication on the wifi connection to the ez-b, but I have been told that that is just there because I am not connected to the internet.
Sounds like you have a fast computer and the benchmark test is flooding the data channel because it's a high priority loop. Looks like the performance concerns are due to overly fast cpu and inconsistent results from the benchmark test. So your cpu is faster than the network capabilities I guess
could also be a driver thing
DJ, I think your right. I have one more odd thing that I noticed, when I do the set 300 digital port to true, the ez-b goes crazy. It makes the sound of power up, but ARC shows it still connected. Ok how do I put the brakes on this?
You don't use the benchmark
If I have any adc monitors running my computer slows down to a crawl. If I have more than 4 running the robot responds in fits jitters and will freeze up. I have to pause all monitors and restart ARC to get things working smoothly again. The most I can ever run at one time is 1 adc monitor.
