Ping Radar Running A Script Instead Of Turning Robot?

Question

Would it be resonable to have ARC Execute a Stop command to the movement panel and then run a script if something has tripped the distance trigger? A script could have the robot make a tone with speaker tone or trigger and MP3 with the MP3 Trigger and then it could be programmed to execute a turn or use the ping sensor and ping sensor servo to try and determine which way and how far to turn.

Seems like you could do that to me.

You can create a script to do that using EZ-Script

There are dozens of examples that people have posted to perfom an action on ping sensor activity. Also, check the File->Examples within ARC to begin learning EZ-Script

@RobertL184 I don't think Speaker Tone works anymore... at least not for me... but I would like to experiment with a tone based radar signal... different tone for different distance. I suppose a MP3 setup with a sonar ping sound would work with the frequency of the ping increasing as distance closes... but I don't have a MP3 adapter yet to start programming with, Baaah! Either way, if you figure out something, post some examples when you can. Meanwhile I will try voice synthesis saying the estimated distance... if I can figure out the coding

I just did that where I have a Navigation script stop after the camera locks onto a target. When the robot is under 12 inches away it punches the target over and verifies it's on the ground.
 ControlCommand("Navigate", ScriptStop) $CenterDistance=GetPing(d1, d0) if ($CenterDistance<14) goto(Punch)
