I have another one..... I would like to be able to turn robot on, turn computer on and that's it. In other words I would like the computer to boot up, start its scan for the ezb, connect and be awaiting further commands. Possible? In the future I will be opening up the router and assigining MAC address simplifying this task somewhat.
I am sure there is a better way, however... Hopefully Alan or Rich can chime in...
You can turn a PC on with WOL and sending a magic packet to the PC. I do this with Jarvis through EventGhost to turn my office PC on from my living room when I'm too lazy to get up and walk the few meters to my office. WOL needs to be enabled in the BIOS of the PC.
You can then add a shortcut (use shortcut creator in the options tab of the ARC ribbon) to the startup menu in Windows to start ARC on loading of the OS.
The shortcut can run 1 script on load, this is usually an init script which can use ControlCommand() to connect to the EZ-B.
That should point you in the right direction. If you can't find the answers from that just shout and I'll give a bit more detail.

Thanks for that information@Rich. I've been wondering about how to do this myself.
