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
Sorry. There will never be two movement panels, as there are only one method of "moving" a robot. However, there is no reason you cannot control the Robosapien by EZ-Script commands without the RoboSapien Movement Panel.
Oh. Okay. Thank you. So I don't need to use the Movement Panel for robosapien just connect to its board via port 1 on the EZ-B for communication and use that port number in my script?
From the EZ-Script Help....
Thanks DJ! You are the BEST! I truly mean that. I love EZ-B
Nice. See brett ez robot saves the day again
Always does....
Awh you two
Flattery will get you everywhere
I can think of other reasons to want two or more movement panels. I want to drive two robots from the same computer/EZ-B instance in order to coordinate their movements to some extent (I am going to have a small drone bot to go where my big bot can't fit, and it will normally ride in a garage on the bigger bot).
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...).
