You guys are great! I need to stiffen up my script writing skills. I've been spending all my "robot" time working on getting the B9 arms to a working prototype stage (just dropped the working prototype off at the machinist this morning to reproduce it. More to follow in a few weeks) . Thank goodness for people like you that are willing to give a guy a hand. I thought there was an elegant way to do this and you found several.

Thanks again!

BTW, I ran into the sleep() issue over a year ago. As I recall I couldn't get a script to sleep more then one minute. I brought it up on this forum then. If this is still the case then perhaps your sleep loop scripts are the way to go.

@Rich, Just a note to say that your script to run a script at set timed interval works perfectly. You said it was a ruff and crude script but I don't see how you could have improved it. It runs every half hour exactly based on when I started ARC.

Now if I wanted to adjust the time frame what would I need to change?

@Dave, which script, I posted a few.

The last one is just adjusting the first variable $sleeptime from 30 to however many minutes you want. The other scripts, find any reference to 30 and change it to however many minutes you want (up to an hour) I think, I'd have to check properly but should be leaving for work really!

It's the first one where it checks the system clock.

Dont worrie. I'll get it figured out based on what you just stated. Get to work and have a good day. It's time for me to get to bed.

First one;

:loop
$waithour = $hour
$waitminute = $minute

# Change the 29 to however many minutes minus 1 minute
IF($waitminute > 29)

# Change the 30 to however many minutes
$waitminute = $waitminute - 30
$waithour++
IF($waithour = 24)
$waithour = 0
EndIf
Else
# Change the 30 to however many minutes
$waitminute = $waitminute + 30
EndIf

WaitUntilTime($waithour, $waitminute)

# Your commands here

Goto(loop)

Rich, your help is very appreciated. You make the learning curve a lot less bumpy.
