My first one worked great. Actually, it is the ARC I am having trouble with. I create my ports and save them in two places. When I call them back, it does not have all of the ports. Also, my connection can only be established in ARC. I have tried to MERGE with my programs after I have connected. But the whole thing is kinda squirrelly. so, I figured I would make mention of it.
Thanks
I away from my PC, but you have to differentiate between board 0, 1, under the connection tab.
What do you mean by you save them in 2 places?
And what do you mean by your connection can only be established in ARC? What else are you trying to connect with?
Post your project file and I will take a look, it may make more sense then.
What I mean is I saved a copy to the EZB folder and also one to the desktop. I just recently saved one to the cloud.
When I call them back, I have windows missing so I have to start from scratch each time to make the windows.
When I start EZB, I have the connection window upper left. When I start the project, I don't have the connection window anywhere unless I start blank EZB first and import my windows. But if I save them, they disappear.
I know about board 0 and board 1, that is not the problem.
I have posted the project file to Bob1 under incompleted robots.
Thanks for your help. I don't think anything is wrong with the EZB, it is always in the software.

The connection window is a control you can save in the project layout just like the other controls.
I will check it out. It sounds like a similar issue we had a few weeks back with modified servo control.
I just opened it and saw some control, not all controls though, and a modified servo control. Are there more than one of them? If so that may be the problem.
Just looked at the file as if it were an XML file (which is what saved files are) and your controls are there including connection so yes, I would say it is the problem I mentioned in the first sentence. I hope DJ is aware of this and has fixed it for the next release so just hang in there for now.
You are doing everything right so good news there
Edit: It's a pain but if you wanted to get on with things try removing the modified servo controls. Make a new project, import everything but the modified servos. If you want movement use a modified servo control panel or custom control panel and set them up in that (if they are for movement).
Here you go, save you doing it

I do have two modified servos for the wheels to the robot. They are the only two continuous servos. They came from Parallax.
:)
It stumped me a couple of weeks ago but digging around found the problem. I don't know why but having two modified servo controls screws up the project. I guess nobody found it before, or few have ever found it because they are rarely used other than for movement and when that's the case a modified servo Movement Panel is used.
From the looks of it your project uses them for movement so if you wanted to get on just add in a modified servo movement panel, set up the ports correctly and voila. You can still use 2 (or more) modified servos with no problems, you just can't have two controls.
You could use scripts to start them in each direction or stop them but it would mean 3 scripts per servo. One for forwards, one for reverse and one for stop. Each with the command Move(servoPort, forward/stop/reverse).
Or you could use keyboard controls to trigger the moves, or a joystick.
Plenty of options there so you can get on with the rest of the project if you wanted to
