FlyPT Mover

I'm posting a new build today with this solved.
Found the problem! It was an "hole" in the code, calling the UI in the calculation thread. Something stupid I left behind after some debugging .
Thank's

Why it drops while using AM or AVR is still a mystery for me

That's strange, I don't understand why.
Test it with the new build to see if it's still happening.
New build allows:

- Low resolution timer in 1 ms steps (minimum 1 ms), now more stable, and low in CPU usage.
- High resolution timer in 0.1 ms steps down to 0.1 ms with some spikes, and at leas 13% CPU in my laptop.

FlyPT Mover 2.7.4

- Solved problem with low definition timer
- Added selection of actuator for Thanos boards
- Removed red square...

Download: FlyPT Mover 2.7.4

That’s what we have now:

Dependency with other software eradicated.

The low resolution works in 1 ms steps, so anything under 1, rounds to 1.
1.1 rounds to 2 ms.

For now, can't do better. Maybe a 64 bit build, don't see big advantages, but everyone is on 64 bits now, so next one will be 64 bits.

It’s looks good !

You have not to forget to diminish the modules to the GUI. Than the consumption is dropping to 0~ 0.5%

Diminish the main window is not enough

Good.

Now I have to retune all the filters

This was changing the filters behaviour, it's now way more stable. If you hide everything, it really becomes lighter.
Updating the interface is really heavy. It's Windows... The worst is the graphics.

I mean there is no difference in consumption if the GUI is reduced or not. The modules have to be hidden. That is the trick !

High precision doesn’t work in my setup under 1 ms. where the motion is extremely jerky.

With 1ms the consumption is around 10% load.
By unchecking the “high precision” it drops almost to 0% load and honestly I can’t feel any difference in behavior.

So I am leaving 1ms in the settings with “high precision” unchecked.

If the calculations are made, like displayed, under 1ms for almost 0% load, it’s a fantastic score I think.

Good job !

Thank's,
I tried with loads of filters and it works... never thought I could make it so fast, and it can be optimised yet, specially the serial output.

I am especially happy you solved at the same time AM and AVR dependency issue. That’s something which is still problematic with simtools.

I see two small bugs.

1.

After restarting timing adds 1 ms to the count. Total 2 in my setup. if you touch the values it drops to 1ms

2.

you have to open ground plugin module to establish connection.

hi ,
in the last release there is a special window for thanos board .Could Thanos just explain how setup this window ?
the actuators setup in ths boxes under the serial string
Thx

Nothing to setup there. It just fills automatically the correct settings for Thanos board.

Just select the rig you want to use.
The actuators are automatically selected.

You also need to select the com port

I'm creating new manual that explains FlyPT setup. Hopefully will release it within next week.

Its just keeps changing and improving still...

thx to all of you guy's

There's still problems on the low resolution timer.
Working on it.

What do you think about the idea of one slider for “general intensity” which could reduce the overall output gain for all 6dofs ?

In the poses?
We already have gain in the rigs, but it affects all poses.


Oh, found the bug in the calculation time. I think it's squashed this time...
