I read the FAQ, and the following was there:
Q. Is the EZ-B Open-Source? We encourage any code you develop using the EZ-B SDK to be released Open-Source and protected under any software license you choose. The code for DJ's robots are released under the DIY section of this website and will always be open source. For hardcore hackers and modders, the EZ-SDK allows wonderful new opportunities for custom robots, projects and interfaces.
Now, I was wondering if I am creating my own application related to the robot I am building, would I be able to instantaneously display just what I need outside of ARC using graphical user interfaces that EZ builder has?
@ankit , what do you mean by displaying just what you need outside ARC? Ez sdk is a sandbox and you can use examples to base your own scripting outside the pre rendered tools in ARC. Basically you can mak your own tools. If what you want to use is in ARC which may be the case then just customize your project to only have the controls open you want to see. All others can be downsized / hidden.
@jstame1 For example, I wanted to make my own program to do the calculations I like and show what I want.
An example would be, Ultrasonic graphical user interface from ARC and Inertial Measurement Data (tilt, pan, yaw) from IMU in a program I'd write.
Instead of my writing everything from scratch, does ARC allow me to take what I need and put it in my program?
You can connect to ARC via telnet and use EZ-Script commands, with these you can basically export data from ARC into your other applications. You can also use HTTPGet to send the data to other applications via HTTP for example notifymyandroid.
ankit1, what you want is the EZ-SDK to make your own program
Using ARC is like using MS Word. You will need MS Word to read the DOC files it creates.
Using EZ-SDK is like using NOTEPAD. You can read it from any text editor.
As you can see, one is specific to the application that created it. The other is generic.
@DJ thanks now that solves my problem. I will explore little more onto EZ SDK and see if I have any further questions. Thank you once again!.
