Question With 2Nd Ezb Purchased

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

Try this one

I added the modified servo control panel with the servo ports you said, saved it, closed it all, opened it again and it remained there so should be OK.

You may want to merge into your current project, just select the modified servo Movement Panel and import it into what you have set up already. If you find one of the servos needs to be reversed just swap the max and min values over.

I never could really save the four times I set it up. But, at least I checked the hardware and know that it seems to be working.

Now, I can save and reload. Very nice. But, the Modified servo control panel does not work at all. It says disconnected. So, he can't go anywhere for now.

I did the motors separately and they worked by themselves each one. But, no Movement Panel works.

We are making some progress. But no movement panel.

Thanks for what you have done so far.

Just a thought, what happens if you change your EZ-B to connection 0?

There is no place for board number in the servo control panel, I only just remembered that (board 0 is always used for movement panels).

Give me a minute and I'll make a custom control panel for you to try using the script commands:)

OK, updated the file on the cloud, download

Directions may be a little wrong since I did it quickly and don't know which way around the servos are fitted on the robot but if it is wrong just change the forwards and reverses in the script commands to suit.

Edit: Just out of interest, why is it set to board 1 when you have no board 0 set up?

#21  

OK, I switched it to Board#0 and everything worked. What am I going to do when I turn on my other robot that is already using board#0? How does that work. it has a Roomba control and uses the panel.

Did the custom Movement Panel work with the script commands Move(1.D18, Forward) etc.? (the latest one I plopped on the cloud)

If not then you will need 2 instances of ARC (assuming you are going to be controlling both robots at the same time) since only 1 Movement Panel is supported per ARC and it is assumed that Board 0 is controlled by the movement panel. If you will have either/or then it isn't an issue, just load up the other project and have both projects use board 0 with their specific port.

Failing that, wait and see if DJ fixed the issue with modified servo controls. Or use scripts, one to move forward, one for reverse, one for stop etc. Or use the keyboard control and map key presses to the servos.

Hey, D.J. it is nice to talk to you. You have been so busy working, I have gotten tired for you. Good to hear from you.

Thanks,
