How To Run A Script At Set Intervals?

It seems like an easy thing to do but I cant quite seem to figure how to trigger a script at set intervals. For example if I want to run a re-calibration script every 30 minutes to home an encoder. I did this and put it in the personality generator but sometimes it will run the homing script a lot more then necessary. Any advice is welcomed.

Odd Ezb4 Question. D14 And D15 Seem To Be Linked?

Ok, so one of my EZB4 seems to have an odd problem... I have 2 servos connected... one on D14 and the other on D15. If I send a servo move command on D14, D15 also moves to the same position. Likewise, if I send a servo command to D15, D14 moves in parallel... I tested 2 other ezbs and they seem to work fine... Also seems to be only D14 and D15...

How To Make Image Button Stay Color Until Direction Change?

This is just a question about something I came across. When using an image button in the ARC mobile interface, if you make the script "forward()", It doesn't change to the running color.
