Hi guys, I wanted to know if I can control two Brookstone rovers with one computer and two wireless cards. Its for a school project. Each card would connect to one of the rovers. I tried doing this with the ARC software and was unable to do so since it wouldn't let me add more than one control for the rover even though I was connected to two. I was wondering if this is possible with the SDK since I would be using it anyway or is it completely limited to controlling one rover.
Yes, you will need to run two copies of ARC
That's great! Can I do this also with the SDK?
no just open 2 ARC on your computer
also i think you can link them together on one EZB after you open 2 on your computer
What i think you do is use the server command and set the board for one port and second board to another port with the script checked and use scripts to control both rovers.
AND dont forget to add ROVER Movement Panel on both copies each one with is WIFI address
I found you cant add to rover movement panels,but by opening 2 ARCS and make a script on the other ARC you can control both them on one ARC using a scripts.
That what DJ told me for controlling my robots with one ARC.
Please ignore robotmaker's replies.
To clarify, you will need to run a second copy of ARC for the second rover. A third copy for third rover, etc..
Using the ez-sdk is also easy. Simply assign a second variable as the second rover
I though it would work DJ didnt you say you can control many robots from one ARC using the server command
i found the post and hope is ok to post it DJ
ARC already has that built in. Enable the Server under Config. You can now connect to other instances of ARC from another ARC. You can query any servo information.
Every control has a ? next to the Close button. Press the ? to load the Tutorial/Help for that control. Press the ? on the Connection Control to view the tutorial/help. A video will demonstrate how to connect multiple ARC instances to each other over the internet or network.
May be i am wrong it cant control another ROVER using the scripts from another ARC ,just try to help with my idea,you know more about the EZ THEN ANYONE
I did try you my 2 tank idea with it and did work great .
Again, sorry for the confusion that robotmaker is causing
. Robotmaker is confusing connecting more than one ez-b with a single copy of ARC. He is also confusing connecting ARC to other instances of ARC.
To clarify due to the messy posts, you will need to load a copy of ARC for each rover
Good luck
