Droid Engineer Archive

All,

Just for testing I put a barker module in an MSE droid. I noticed that the time between spamings of the message varied between six minutes and two minutes. None of the times between messages were less than two minutes with an average of 2.5 minutes between each bark. This does not seem correct given my experiences of watching these droids in the past. This is far too low a frequency. Was there something in the DE FAQ I missed about an experimentation line affecting timing? Do modules barker modules stack to increase the frequency of advertisement?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. As a side note, this same timing was observed in a friends Gonk droid equiped with a barker module.

Barkers bark when people walk by or near. They have a minimum time in between barks, but people passing by is a factor.

I'll test this. This would explain why a crowded area seems to have droids barking about every 10-20 secs and others seem to take a minute in between shouts. And also why in my house the droid was taking as long as six minutes.
