Ping sensor HC-SR04 worked great with the radar plugin on last version. I updated and now ping is dead. no response. also, my camera just up and died as well. i cannot power it off no matter how long i hold the button down, i get no picture and when i pair to dongle, upon button press on camera, dongle stops flashing and has two led's lit. camera is still non functional. dongle is seen by windows and ARC. tried recharging camera and still wont power off or restart. what to do?
UPDATE: rolling back to previous version fixed ping sensor. Did not fix camera tho. trying a full power drain then recharge to see what happens. otherwise i see an rma in my future.
@grindinonyourm I don't see how it could break either. Code was not touched on either. Please share your project so I can see what may be the issue.

here ya go.
Tried your project - ping sensor works fine. Please check your wiring.
Confirmed (thought I might as well since I was playing). It may just be one of those cases of needing to reinstall the current version, it happens, it's rare, but it happens.
As for the camera, it makes no sense that any update of any application (ARC included) could cause any problems with the camera. Short of something corrupting the driver during an update. The camera itself, and it's drivers are completely separate to ARC. ARC only accesses any video devices installed in Windows. Have you tried accessing the camera through other software such as AmCap to check if it's the camera not working or a bug in ARC/the ARC install?
Also, once the camera is paired it is extremely rare that it would unpair, you should have no reason to try pairing it.
Sometimes the cameras stay on forever until the battery dies... that's due to frequency interference - and sometimes misuse. The solution is to let the battery die, recharge and try again
and thats exactly what i did to fix the camera. not sure why it freaked out but after a night of drain and then charge, it kicked back on and powers off properly again. with the ping sensor, i rebooted, which did not fix the issue. i will reinstall the newest version and try again. anyway, this sdk and easy builder is great! i have never gotten a bot up and running so fast before. thanks a ton!
