Duplicate user byte 6 in Dashboard spec?

Jared Russell · #1 23-01-2006, 10:48

Looking at the most recent (2005) Dashboard port spec from IFI, I notice that USER BYTE 6 is included twice in Data Frame 2.

Does this byte get the same data, or is it in fact mislabeled?

This is really frustrating me...but...where did you get the dashboard specs from, and are they still there? I cannot, for the life of me, find the updated specs on the IFI site! The latest I can find are 2003 specs, and I'm pretty sure that there have been changes...

Thanks,
JBotAlan

Go to ifirobotics.com, click on "Dashboard Viewer" then download the "Dashboard Viewer 2005". The specification PDF is located inside that ZIP file.

In my test last year, it was the same. There were a few reserved/0 bytes that weren't, but otherwise ok.

The spec hasn't changed since then. Last year's dashboard still works.
