How To Set The Controller Board Number In An ARC Script?
Hi Athena, We have two robot head controller boards connected to ARC using two different Wi-Fi adapters. I am wondering how I can interact with a specific board from a Python script that I am writing using the Script option in ARC. Is there a way to specify a board index or something similar to target a particular board? Thanks in advance, Satish
