Hi I have a question about the power outlets P1 and P2 I have a small RC controlled trolly to be used on a construction site. This requires that I have a beeper and flashing light. Hoping to use the Power outlets to operate light and beeper. I seem to be unable to get the power outlets to work. Despite setting the board to brakes and timeout limits to 0 as per manual its not working. As I understand I connect - to the P outlets and + to the main power input Can anyone give me some advice on this? Thanks in advance

Sabertooth Movement Panel
Sabertooth speed and setspeed works great. Here's a video. Because there's no Example Project or code, I don't know how else i can help at the moment
I just tested the Sabertooth control and it works perfectly fine for me... Speed settings included. No problems. FYI I tested it with a sabertooth 2 x 5....
Dunning,
Looks like you are using Java. Too much code to rewrite on this robot. Using original EZ robot scripting language, SetSpeed. movement doesn't work. I get a syntax error. I uses SetSpeed on previous versios before ARC and worked fine. Has this command made inoperable? Is there a work around?
Can some scripts be in Java and the rest just EZ?
Thanks for the help.
I was using the built in sabertooth control in the current version of ARC to test. Saying that my current custom movement control written in ez script for the sabertooth works perfectly as well. I will however eventually be converting all my important ez scripts to javascript at some point...
Ok, just not working here on 2 wheel chair motors. Still works ok on previous version perfectly. Do all scripts need to be Java or can you mix them up?
I am just guessing here but JavaScript and ez script would be complied differently so I think you have to use either/or... Meaning not together in the same script. Separate scripts however, I assume would be fine... If I were you though, I would start using JavaScript exclusively as ez script is going to possibly be phased out....
Hi,
Found the problem. I was setting movement up in connection string but when using joystick I didn't realize the Use variable movement speed resets this to whatever joystick throws in. Unchecking the box fixed the problem. Thanks.
I will probably start moving scripts over to Java. Lot of work to do.
@Dunning-Kruger.
I certainly hope not.Unless I missed something very important DJ has promised ez script is not going to be phased out.
I do want to learn Javascript and eventually convert all or most of my scripts but like jackphillips1953 I have a ton of scripts for my robot.
