Robot Skill That Imports Excel Data To Move Servos Score 669

DJ, Any chance of taking the Auto Position names and convert that into a spreadsheet format. This way you can see how much difference there will be from one position to another. You can have a cell in the spreadsheet calculate how much time it will take to go from one position to another and then you manipulate time and the speed if wanted. The servo value could be a variable and then you can move the spreadsheet numbers into that variable. In each cell it could also be manipulated by many math functions to make a circle, elipse for instance. Personally I'd prefer numbers so I can see exactly what it going on very quickly. Sorry if I put this question in the wrong location.                                 Thanks, Don

I moved your comment into a feature request - because it wouldn't be compatible with auto position. The Auto Position uses an internal algorithm that is pre-set and there wouldn't be an ability to import and override. Instead, a new robot skill would need to be created that can import excel data. It would be similar to the auto position, but the "frames" would be imported
