Hey! Figured it out. In VS2012 C# Express, I had to go Build -> Configuration Manager, and in there select the x86 platform. It didn't work by just selecting x86 under project settings -> Build -> Platform (x86).

Sorted, now I can play with C# stuff until exhaustion claims me

The software doesn't have a simulator however if you check some of my scripts (ping roam and the introduction to scripting) I use a method to simulate sensor readings by way of random numbers. However it looks like you are going to be going down the path of using the SDK if you plan to do all of what you've mentioned.

thanks for the tip Rich! I think I can play around with the SDK. If you check another one of my threads (lol) I posted code to add an event to google calendar through voice commands because I wasn't able to sleep! I'm not sure what I'm going to try next but I'm having a ball.

Do you mean that we could ask the robot to do a Google Search or a Wiki? I have been wanting that for years.

Good to have you aboard.

:D

That's one of the things I'm looking at. In my 'last post of the night' thread I've attached three screenr videos and three respective pieces of code for a) posting an event to google calendar b) searching by keyword from google calendar and c) searching by start-end dates for google calendar. I plan on having my robots keep track of me and my situation and make sure I never forget an appointment again.

The problem is, and always has been that using voice for dictation with Windows SAPI rarely works well. I have other applications which can search google, youtube, ebay, add calendar items, add things to shopping lists etc. via voice searches, sometimes they work OK but a huge majority of the time it doesn't quite get what I'm saying - and my voice profile has undergone over 2 years of daily training!.. In short, build it around dragon naturally speaking not Windows SAPI.

@Mel, check my Jarvis videos on youtube, there's one example from a few months ago of searching Google (via VC but it works along side ARC and they talk to each other), there's one of the wake up call with appointments and weather (ARC powered), I'm sure I've posted them before. www.YouTube.com/RichPyke and look under the Jarvis tag. Admittedly Jarvis needs to run more than just ARC for some functions but it all works and all talks to each other, ARC knows what VC and EG are doing).

But, your jarvis build is private and your own. It is not a shared program. Nothing wrong with that. I understand because you have put so much time into the programing of it. But, it would be nice to access google and wiki through the EZB. I already can access them with my program Denise from Guild3D studio. But, I have her only licensed to use in my Desktop.

thanks for the Reply.

:)

My Jarvis build will be freely shared once it's thoroughly tested and interacts with ARC without problems or bugs and is explained in enough detail that anyone can follow it

Nothing is private with me, if it will help others and lead to it being improved too (i.e. share it back again) then I'll always share everything
