Auto Startup

How does one create a script to self start the robot program? It must load the file, connect to the comm port in use, and then start the program. It should have a time delay upon startup to allow someone to abort the auto startup.

What do you think DJ?

Until DJ adds the function, take a look at autohotkey. You should be able to automate the process.

I downloaded autohotkey and am playing with it. Still learning how to use it. My time is limited right now, but DJ can add the feature much cleaner I suspect.

Oh yes this would be a great feature for autonomous and unsupervised projects. How much to bump this up to the top of the list.

The code behind ARC and the sdk is very complex. it requires scheduling of specific features to prevent my brain from melting. items are added to the list near similar items or items which touch the same code. with 1,000's of features in the software, only certain areas of code are touched per release to make beta testing easy.

it's in the list, not far away:)

patience is a virtue:D
