How To Make The Robot Dance To A Song?

I have made 3 different dance steps for 3 different songs. I want to make it in such a way that in the Auto Position window, when i execute an action, it should simultaneously do the action as well as play the song. How to do that?

In the action editor (where you add frames) there's a button to edit the script. go there and type this in;

ControlCommand( "SoundBoard", sound name )

Or, you can add the SoundBoard EZ-B v4 control. That way, you can edit the sound and add scripts to run at any point along the timeline.

Hi guys, Thank for the fast reply. I am able to do it. But my robot has gone "crazy". I am only able to execute only one action instead of multiple actions. If I have to 2nd action, i ve to close and relaunch the ARC. I am thinking is it fault with the software or something else.

what kind of servos are you using? Dynamixels seem to have a small issue with this, however it shouldn't be spazzing out. If you're using normal hobby servos they shouldn't be doing that at all

NYP, what are you "able to do"? There are a few suggestions given to you - which one did you choose?

Trust me, it's not a fault with the software. My guess is you are sending controlcommands too quickly and it's attempting to start one script before the other is finished.

If you are trying to make the robot dance then the best method is to edit the soundboard scripts. I have tried both ways (scripting with ControlCommand and sleeps and with the soundboard) and the soundboard method was easiest and more accurate.

Here's a quick comparison, Six was done with scripting ControlCommands and JD was done with the Soundboard method, notice which one is quite clearly better.

Hi Rich, I am unable to see the Spider's video, it says "Not available in your country". I ve seen your JD. Its sync well with the song.How do you do that Soundboard method? I have never seen it before.
