Hi, im literally very new to this, i have managed to get the Movement Panel working and have put in another single server set it up as horizontal servo and it moves when inputting the moment values but i can get it to work with the control panel,
i have looked at the videos but i cant find any info on how to allocate a server to a keyboard key or where i can control it from. It doesn't work when clicking on the servo on the desktop...
Please Help.
You will need to change the movement control panel settings to include another servo if you have added the extra servo to your drive train.
There is a control for keyboard commands, these can assign a single command or a script to each key up and key down. These use basic EZ-Script commands such as Servo(D0, 90), Move(D0,Forward) etc.
Read the forums, check the tutorials, all of the information is there and easy to find.
However the best advice I could give you now is to build the EZ-Box Bot, follow that tutorial, it will cover the basics.
We'll help you out
Sorry about that, hope this explains my question better.
I have connected a standard servo with a gripper on it. I have used the horizontal servo control in ARC and configured the servo . During configuration the servo moved.
I couldn't work out how to assign keyboard controls so I have connected the Wi remote and have it all working via the remote.
I would like to know how to assign keyboard controls to this servo so I don't have to use the Wi control.
Any direction to the correct tutorial would be appreciated.
Thanks
Choose Scripting from the menu across the top
Add Keyboard Control
The help page for Key Control is here
Basically, key control will use EZ-Script commands. The EZ-Script commands are to the right of the dialogue.
In the configuration of key control, when you click in the key up and key down boxes are little icons of a pencil on the right, click on it to open the script dialogue if you need to use multi line scripts for more advanced functions.
Really appreciate your speedy responses, I am really excited about getting up and running with this.
Thanks Again

You can than choose what key you want to use and a Down and Up command.
Example
I'm going to use modified servos for my pan and tilt and I like to control the camera with the keyboard so here is one of the keys I set up
KEY
w
KEY DOWN COMMAND
ControlCommand("Script Manager",ScriptStart,"KPw")
KEY UP COMMAND
$Pass = $Tilt
ControlCommand("Script Manager",ScriptStart,"CamMovStop")
#Here is my KPw script
Servo ($Tilt, 49) #Adjust tilt up speed 51 - 1
#And CamMovStop
Servo ($Pass, $PnTStop)
I know we're not supposed to had out easy answers but this is something I've actually messed with a lot so, I'm just excited to be able to help someone
[edit] It appears I'm too slow
Oh and you are allowed to hand out easy answers, it's just me who's decided I'm going to try and make people think (and by you handing out answers you are the one thinking too - you learn by teaching, at least I have)
Thanks for your help, I am certain that i will be asking for more
Thanks
