Hello DJ, I was wondering if it would be possible to have 2 movement panels or use a different type of control panel for communication to a Robosapien? I am working on a RAD/Robosapien combination and need to be able to drive the RAD base. I will not be using the legs of Robosapien.
Thank you,
Bret
However, as you point out, I could script the movement of the second bot, or run a second instance of EZ-B in a virtual machine (probably need a second BT radio to dedicate to the VM. Need to experiment a bit).
I can think of other reasons for multiple panels though too. Like different drive trains for different terrain (flip bot, wheels on one side, treads on the other or something...).

While scripts can be made and multiple joysticks used for multi-moment needs, the moment panel does allow simple on-screen control for new users or R&D facilitation... and, to me, exemplifies the term EZ... that said, anyone using multi-moment robots is likely skilled enough to "move"
I have so many ideas... hoping I can afford more kits soon...
Also, @Alan, you can run multiple instances of ARC without the virtual PC requirement... but may? require separate connection links (BT or USB-TTL, etc.) to their respective EZ-B boards.
ARC was designed with one Movement Panel for convenience of the Forward, Left, Right, Stop, Up, Down, RollLeft, RollRight, etc. EZ-Script commands. Also so hardware controls can seamlessly integrate with your movement panel.
If you wish to have your robot somehow have multiple methods of movement, create EZ-Scripts for the movements. There will never be support for multiple movement panels because EZ-Script controls can be used instead

Thanks DJ!
