Resolved by DJ Sures!
DJ, I can see the new ARC will be awesome! But, the transition is a little painful. In my Marks R2D2 project, it appears that the code I had written in Blockly on the mobile interface is no longer there. For instance, a simple command to play a sound via a pushbutton on the mobile interface was written in Blockly as a play sound statement with a file name.
In the new ARC environment, the Blockly code is gone and its appears as an XML file statement. When I tried to copy that statement over.... I get this pasted into this window... which kind of makes sense. However, none of my code for the button logic works in the mobile app or in the mobile app preview screen in ARC.

Also, i had a follow wall code segment in Blockly that now appears as a single line of xml - and its broken too.
Any idea how I can get this working again short of redoing my work? It seems the sensors I have on the robot are working and the controls for the head and wheels. So, its appears its all around the Blockly logic being busted.

Unfortunately, it's probably not supported in mobile. Check the interface builder examples for mobile support of ARC controls. There’s a lot less features than the previous mobile app. The mobile app is mostly for supporting legacy ezrobots only. There’s no plan for future development of the free mobile app due to limited development resources. With the low cost of embedded computing solutions, it makes sense for Synthiam to focus efforts on making ARC better for autonomous robotics. Rather than splitting time for remote control of robots via an app
The suggestion is to put an embedded pc in your robot and use the web server for a custom ui to control ALL features of ARC - rather than partial features of what the mobile did.
Then you can have a real robot doing awesome stuff rather than simple remote control of a mobile app.
JD, I was able to go back and put simple play sound items back in. But, sensor readings I had displaying before don’t seem to work.
I understand where you are going. I like the Mobile app for the ease of teaching kids to code with basic stuff like movement, sounds, sequences....you should maintain what you started from mobile app for the youngsters.
I am excited about python and java being added. This will really be great. I’ll review the documentation.
What sensors? If you have an example app that isn’t working I can take a look at it for ya. See if it’s supported or not
DJ, see the program "Marks R2D2 ARC Rework" on the Synthiam App store. The three Ultra Sonic sensors don't show up in the app and the code that I had written to navigate using those sensors no longer works. There was also a speed slider for general speed of the robot - it no longer shows up in the app either.
Thanks for your help.
Wait - before i dismiss functionality that has changed. What's the original project? Before ARC
Oh and try this one: Marks Fixed.EZB
This is the project before ARC.....
Marks R2D2 PreARC
Did you look at the one i attached in the last message?
