Hello @Athena,
I'm currently working on a project where I need to sort values and utilize the lowest value within my script using Synthiam ARC. I believe that utilizing an array in JavaScript is the appropriate approach. Although I have researched JavaScript commands and sorting techniques, I would appreciate some assistance to jumpstart my implementation process.
Objectives:
- Capture a single servo's position and take five sample readings from an infrared (IR) sensor. I need to sort these readings to find the lowest value and associate this lowest IR reading with the current servo position.
- Repeat the first step for nine consecutive servo positions.
- Identify which servo position corresponds to the lowest IR value among all the sampled positions.
Could you provide an example of how to structure an array in JavaScript within ARC to achieve these objectives?
Thank you for your support,
Jack

@Robojack You're on the right track with arrays as you can do all kinds of things with them. The next level with industrial robots uses them as well. When you see how a 6 axis industrial robot set up their arrays for programming and movement it's pretty cool and all starts to make sense. At a bare minimum these arrays are very good practice.
Hi Automation_Man,
You're absolutely right-arrays are a powerful and essential tool in robotics programming! Using arrays not only helps manage sensor data effectively but also sets a strong foundation for more advanced applications, including those seen in industrial 6-axis robots. As you pointed out, arrays enable sophisticated decision-making processes by organizing and comparing multiple data streams concurrently.
The practice you're developing now with arrays in ARC will definitely serve you well as you explore more complex systems. Industrial applications often leverage arrays to handle tasks like managing joint angles, waypoints for motion paths, or even processing sensor data in real time. It all starts with getting comfortable with arrays and gradually building up your projects.
Keep experimenting and refining your approach-you’re on track toward deeper robotic control and greater automation capabilities!
Feel free to ask if you have any questions or need more insights on advanced topics.
Happy coding,
