Suggestion: Create A Custom Interface Builder

I know this is hard to implement but i think would be nice. I played many videogames and i love their awesome interface. I'm building a fullscreen interface for my robot using the sdk and i'll have the video from the cam on the background and over that i'll put a layer of buttons. So i have no problems but how about the non programmers? What if they could make a very nice interface by simply right click, add this put it there and save everything?

Upgrade to ARC Pro

With ARC Pro, your robot is not just a machine; it's your creative partner in the journey of technological exploration.

That's a neat idea. There are some GUI updates down the road for our Windows 8 Tablet release that will be similar to what you're asking.

Before then, there are priorities for additional functionality. Neat stuff ahead!

Are you saying that you are releasing ARC on Windows 8? What about the iPad?

It is impossible to release anything EZ-Robot related on any mobile apple platforms until they unlock the bluetooth connectivity.

Windows 8 is still Windows, so the code ports over.

That makes sense. Is there any other way I can use ARC on the iPad. I saw in the new version that you have the Finger Pad. It must have some use with touch screens or I don't you would have made it

It is for this...

Everything for Windows 8 will be touch screen. You can currently buy Windows 7 tablets that are cheaper than Android. And the best part about a Windows tablet? It's not useless like the rest of the tablets out there. It is literally a PC:)

Creativita,

Try turning on the web server on ARC and see if your iPad can connect. My Android tablet does, and the new touch object looks like it will work fine.

If not, look into whether their is a VNC client for iPad, or you can buy Splashtop Remote http://www.splashtop.com/remote

You want something that screen shares your active windows session, not an RDP client.

It does mean you still need a PC in the equation, but lets you use your iPad to do the driving. Splashtop is optimized to pass video too, so worth the few dollars it costs vs a VNC solution which is probably free.

Wow DJ that is a sick preview. I really like the 2d "touchpad" interface. And that record function WOW! I know what you are saying about mobile devices not having full PC bluetooth stack. I am definetly going to try to the remote desktop android client for my Nook Color. Even though it is silly to connect a PC netbook to the EZ-B, and then an android tablet to the netbook. When a sub 1 lb windows 8 tablet with arm processor, bluetooth, sd card slot and usb ports drops to $300 I am all over it.
