I was in the EZ-Script compiler tonight and came up with a little idea. I was wondering if I continued this path, if it would be useful to any of you?
The idea is you can right click on a line when editing EZ-Script and a graphical wizard will appear to help you create programs...
Would it be possible to add a servo slider in the graphical wizard? So after selecting the port the user could choose/ visually see the servo location without having to exit out of the script editor. This could also be implemented with ADC meters and digital meters for proximity sensors. It would be helpful/faster programming if you could see the variables as you code in the script

Options are a good thing.
When I'm coding in ARC the first thing I do it set up servo sliders and digital/ADC meters for all of the ports that are currently in use so that I know all of the servo position minimum and maximums. Often times they get moved to another virtual desktop to get them out of the way. This however doesn't help while inside the script editor as there is no way to retrieve specific servo/sensor data. often times I either exit the editor to get a specific servo position or just guess and fine tune the position once its run a few times.
My idea is to add another tab on the right side of the script editor (next to the script help, port summary, cheat sheet, console tabs) that incorporates servo sliders and meters that have already been created within the project. This way, as an example, one can move the servo within the script editor to determine a specific servo position while coding.
Hopefully I described this idea well enough? Like you said, it is probably a huge undertaking but I think coding would be a lot faster with less and back between script editors and the main menu screen where all of the data is displayed.

that content is viewable when editing scripts - unless you've designed a robot with EZ-Bits, which overrides the port summary.
So the port summary but with an interactive controls? I'll think about how to do that...
Same applies to the wiimote on JD's arms vs the myo.
So showing min and max won't work. However, showing current servo position could be possible.
