So I have built a mobile app that works great. I have a custom Movement Panel set up in EZ builder that controls my robo claw "h-bridge"for movement of its tracks. For movement of my robots shoulders I have used a second robo claw as I have used wheel chair motors for those as well, and a third robo claw for body up/down using a linear actuator. The second and third roboclaw were easily used by using script commands in speech recognition. So in other words I can say robot raise right arm and his right arm moves.
Now the problem. I would like to add the shoulders, and body up down to my mobile app. It seems as though the mobile app works directly with a Movement Panel and unfortunately it seems I am only allowed one movement panel? I would also like to be able to control his head pan and tilt which operate off of "standard" servos. Any ideas how to get around this?
Thanks Chris
Add a button to your mobile interface and assign it with the script command for movement of the other two robo claws.
Have you watched the video tutorial on making a mobile app? Sounds like you're relying on movement panels and default control views. You can create a custom mobile interface and add scripts to buttons. It's a very powerful and easy to way customize your robot and show off your custom app to friends
Hello, and thanks for the replies. I had already created an app. However I deleted it and tried to make a new one and it is not working, and Im not sure what I am doing wrong. It keeps saying saved to Cloud, but it is definitely not there. I named it B2K Mobile. It is not there. I watched the video 10 times today. The first time I watched the video I was able to create the app with no problems. Thanks Chris
Hi @kamaroman68
I'm just wondering if you are browsing to the correct cloud based folder that you saved it into? For example if you've saved to "Robots Incomplete" in ARC's EZ-Cloud are you browsing to the "Robots incomplete folder on your mobile device? Just figured I'd mention it too that you'll need to be connected to the internet with your phone in order to upload any newly saved cloud apps, before you try connecting to your's robot's network.
@Kamaroman68 I am unable to guess what the issue could be with saving to the cloud for you. Perhaps something strange happened to the project file. If you can post it on here, I will take a quick peek? You can use the Attach File and Upload on the right of the forum edit box.
There's nothing on my computer! All that I created yesterday is gone. When using my mobile device it still loads the very first project I created and works, which is weird because I deleted it from the cloud. I don't know. Theres nothing to post. I am going to try one more time creating the UI and saving to cloud. We'll see. Thanks Chris
...save it in ARC too so you have a copy on your PC as well...
I will echo what Richard said, it's always a good idea to save locally too. While nothing has happened that I know of in the past there is always the chance that EZ-Robot's server may go down and cloud files become lost for ever. Personally I have at least 3 copies of all of my ARC projects (4 if it's something on the cloud)... I have a copy locally, a copy on my nas (auto backup my documents to my nas every time it detects a file has changed, been added or removed), a copy on my dropbox and, if shared, a copy on the cloud.
I lost too much stuff from a HDD failure a fair few years ago, now I over compensate for it
