Using Joystick Over Http Server

Quick question: is it possible to use a joystick to a control a robot over a http server? (So from anywhere in the world)

Thanks!

Web browsers do not have a joystick capability, sorry. You can connect another copy of ARC to the main ARC. The tutorial for the connection control will show you how. Press the ? In the connection control. :)

DJ,

Sorry for the newb questions- I'm extremely new to this.

Is there away to run a script within the Easy Builder Application? Also when you make a project in the Easy Builder Application can it be opened with the SDK? (Like exported) Is there anyway to make a sensor do something based on the time?

Thanks!

(P.S. Should I make a new topic?)

Yes, you can do yes to all of the scripting questions:) It's best to create a new topic under the Scripting category with your questions.

You are not able to open an ARC project in the SDK. The SDK means "Software Development Kit". It's for experienced programmers to create their own application - for example making your own ARC ... You can transition yourself into the SDK over the next 6 months. First, use ARC to create all of the functions your app requires over the next few months. Second, slowly begin examining the SDK examples and perhaps take a C# Programming course at night school. Moving to C# from ARC isn't terribly challenging if time permits :)

I'm relatively okay at C. I just was wondering if it was possible to have small scripting snippets within the visual interface. (Some of the radar visuals are very nice to have) Also, within the SDK, how do you view a camera, etc. Also back to the original question, can you still connect 2 instances of the program of the SDK?

You can view dozens of examples on how to do everything that ARC does using the SDK. Download the SDK and look at the examples :)

There is a very powerful scripting language called EZ-Script within ARC.

You can have up to 255 instances of the SDK. You can have up to 128 instances of ARC.

Each instance of ARC will connect to 5 EZ-B's (totalling 100 servos, or combination of peripherals)

I would recommend downloading and installing ARC. :)
