2 Questions Regarding Ez-B V4 Startup

Skip to comments   Jump to end

Hi everyone.

I have a couple of questions regarding the start up of my EZ-B v4 that I have installed in to my bot today, and hope someone may be able to help answer.

Q1.) Is there a way to have the EZ-B4 auto connect to my computer when the v4 starts up? E.g, the computer is already on and ARC already running. I power up the EZ-B4 and it automatically connects to ARC without having to manually "scan" and "connect". (Via client mode).

Reason: I hooked up a remote control power switch to my v4 (like a cars remote central locking relay) which works great, and to have the v4 auto connect to ARC and control my bot straight away I thought would be a nice touch.

Q2.) Is it possible to have a custom verbal message, either using speech synthesis script, pandorabots control or prerecorded MP3 file, to automatically say something like, "Hello. How are you today?" or "My systems are now online. Welcome." ect, after the default "I am now connected to your network" phrase when I power up the v4?

Reason: Just because I think it would be a cool feature.

Cheers, Steve. :)

I use the following script to do exactly what you looking for. With this method you don't get the failed connection dialog Rich was explaining. You probably want to adjust the sleep commands to your liking (longer the better) but other then that should be able to just copy and paste this into your script.

:start
$status = IsConnected(0)
If($status = FALSE)
ControlCommand("Connection", Connect0)
sleep (5000)
Goto (start)
EndIf
If($status = TRUE)
sleep (60000)
Goto (start)
EndIf
