The mono library that I created only works on the b4, hence "hostname" for the connection. Sorry, I'm unable to create mono app for the deprecated v3.

You can use the openbot library for the v3

the robosapien script references /imports the ezbDll, is there a different Dll for v3?

My next mode of action was to rewrite the c++ open bot into python, but i was hoping that it wouldn't come to that.

The eZ-sdk supports the v3, for the time being. Due to the advancements of the v4, the code base is changing significantly and v3 support will be too difficult to maintain.

The eZ-sdk does not work with mono. You will need ms windows for the eZ-sdk.

The openbot will work.

As for Python, you can simply send your own commands to the ezb with Python - use the openbot for command reference

Thanks for that, I understand. This project is to have ezb take commands from a non Windows environment.

The reason is, to give it autonomous function by using a lightweight component as the brain which runs linux, ie: beaglebone /rasb, thus removing the need for adult supervision.

I will test with openbot, but c++ is archaic, so i will try to have our team convert to python.

Yeah, c++ is surely confusing and overly complicated compared to today's programming languages. I would like to add EZ-B v3 support, but the complication is too difficult to maintain with the v4.

The great thing about the Mono with v4 library that I created for you is it includes AutoPosition and other awesome stuff. The OpenBot does not contain those features.

Maybe it's more cost effective to upgrade to a v4 than to hire a team to convert the code to python? I

Thats my line of work actually. My first 3 languages about 16 years ago were java, vb and c++.

The reason for python, is it can run commands on the fly. Unlike my current job where the. net environment won't run uncompiled code unless you use reflection and write the functionality in xml, get some kind of ticker to check for new data/functions /classes in the db, read path, make classes on the fly, then run into undebuggable errors.. etc. Basically, too complicated and not cross system.

if i get this running illtry the v4, which im sure has its own set of hurdles.

is there a way to tether to v4 instead of using wifi. Idsure hate getting hacked. wifi is pretty easy to takeover

So, interesting blog post from Microsoft today. Apparently dot.net is going open source and multi-platform (Linux and Mac specifically mentioned). Specific date not mentioned, but this theoretically should make it easier to use the EZ-B SDK in platforms other than Windows.
