[i] This feature is available as of 2.2.0.
The wireless report displays statistical information about the current state of the wireless system.
This is an advanced page which is useful for diagnosing control issues.
The report will have two sections, a Downlink section and an Uplink section.
Each of these links is a dedicate radio which servers for a specific direction of communication between the Inertia Wheels and the Receiver.
This is how the links are illustrated.
Inertia Wheels >>>> Uplink @ 900MHz >>>> Receiver
Inertia Wheels <<<< Downlink @ 2.4GHz <<<< Receiver
This section shows the status of the Receiver's link with the wheels. This is data that is coming back from the Receiver to the Wheels.
[!] If the Downlink is inactive, then the Uplink data will also not be visible. The Uplink may still be working.
| DOWNLINK Status | RX Firm | Good Packets | Size Errors | Firmware Errors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Active | 2.2.0 | 1000 | 0 | 0 |
This section shows the status and history of data being sent from the Wheels to the Receiver. This data is the most critical data. It is the control data of the head.
| UPLINK | Overall | Since Reset | Per Second |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good Packets | 100000 | 32000 | 96 |
| Missing Packets | 2000 | 1800 | 3 |
| Checksum Errors | 10 | 5 | 1 |
| Size Errors | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Module Errors | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Success Ratio | 98% | 94% | 96% |
| Description | Good | Good | Excellent |
Press the Reset button to reset the "Since Reset" column of statistics. You can exit and return to this page.
[$] Use Reset to troubleshoot recurring areas of wireless interference. For example, press the Reset button at the beginning of the take, and after the take review the data for a summary snapshot of what occurred during the take.
This is a count of packets that arrived at the Receiver intact and on-time. They have been checked for integrity and were used to control the head.
This is the total count of packets which did not arrive at the Receiver. This includes packets which failed checksum validation.
This is the total count of packets which arrived at the Receiver, but were rejected because the integrity of the data was compromised.
This is the total count of packets which were received but were not the right size. If this occurs it means a radio using similar technology is nearby. If these errors occur at all, it is suggested to change frequencies or mode. Either change will shift the Wheels/Receiver away from receiving these.
This is a count of errors reported by the wireless module. If these are a frequent occurrence, then it is good to speak with customer support as that is very rare.
This is a key indicator of signal reception. It is the ratio of good packets out of all packets sent. It should be 90% or greater with line of sight below 100ft.
[!] If the success ratio is lower than 90% consistently, then taking action is warranted.
[$] Even with a low success ratio, the system operators can have solid control. Start by troubleshooting the wireless. If attempts are unsuccessful, decrease motor responsiveness, switch to rate based modes, and/or increase smoothing in the head. These concessions will allow interpolation across the data losses. But ultimately, extremely low success ratios <50% likely cannot be overcome.
