Can anyone tell me why I am losing controls from my project when I save it. I have created the same project 3 times now and each time I save it to both my hard drive as well as to the Cloud, some of the controls seem to vanish.
I created the project for the third time yesterday and it had mp3 Trigger and 6 of the servo contols and I saved it to both my hard drive using the save as and gave it a new name and saved it to the cloud as well.
When I opened it this morning, the only thing in the project was the mp3 trigger and one of the servo controls.
Can someone tell me whats happening to the rest of the controls.

PS, remember to save locally also. Always a good idea to have a backup
It should have the MP3 Trigger, Robo Claw H-Bridge Movement control, Modified servo Controls for Right Arm, Left Arm,arms center, Open/close Eyes, and Move Antenna.
Thats what should be in the file that I saved.
I still need to add the wrist controls but that requires a second H-Bridge which is the 4-Wire H-Bridge listed in the controls, plus I need to add the viceo camera controls.

If they don't it hasn't saved it.

Should I delete ARC and re-install it?

DJ may need to look at it since it's beyond me. But;
The file only shows the controls you mentioned.
When trying to merge it with a new file all controls are listed but selecting all only imports the ones previously mentioned that load on open.
All controls are in the save and the XML looks ok to me but I haven't much clue what to look out for (all I know is that saves are XML based - because I'm nosey like that).
@droidmech2002, what happens if you open a project from the cloud, save it locally, close ARC and then try to open it from your hard drive? There are a few projects on the cloud from me (click user details below my name/pic on the left), the Dagu one has a lot of controls... make it easier, click here to download it
I'm probably going the long way about it, have you tried re-installing ARC? Something somewhere is screwing up the save files...
This really has be baffled as to why it is not saving my files.
I think I am going to uninstall ARC and re-install it and see if that takes care of the problem.

I just started a new project. Added the sabertooth hbridge, a few modified servos, a couple of horizontal servos and the mp3 trigger. Saved, closed and opened it and half the controls don't show...
Adding more than 1 modified servo control will cause the project not to load correctly after saving.
In the meantime, set up the project without the modified servo controls.
What do they do? Chances are there is a work around the problem.

What do the modified servo controls going to do. I was going to use them to move the arms up and down, Open and close the Eyes , rotate the antenna and rotate the wrists, just to start. These are the features that the museum wants the robot to have along with driving it around using the Robo Claw 2x30 motor controller, which is basically that same as the Sabretooth controller. The Mp3 trigger will operate the sound files and they want the video camera installed along with voive recognistion.
So if I can use more than one modified servo control, I have no idea how I am going to get everything to work. The scripting is beyond what I can do, and meet the deadline to have this thing operational. Myabe if I had a year to play with the program and study all of the scripting, I might be able to write the script, if it is simular to the PICAXE basic.

Code:
Code:
Code:
If it gets a Move command it will continue that move until it receives another move command.
What you could do is add the Key Control and assign movement forward, movement reverse and stop to 3 keys on the keyboard, or assign them to a joystick button. Or even have the 3 scripts above on the project for each servo.
What is your deadline? I'm pretty much always around and will guide you on scripting or any of the controls as much as I can.
I hope I have not bitten off more than I can handle with this using the EZ-B. I had this thing working pretty good using the old R/C system with a 12 Channel RF relay board to control the sounds, but they wanted to have to switched over to be able to use a tablet for control.
My deadline is sometime in the middle of May, don't know the exact date yet.
