Really nice work. Love the smooth movement of the dome. How is your motion tracking working? Does the dome move properly with someone walking past?

Droid fans will love him! Looks amazing!

thank you so much for the compliments guys! Its been a really really long process and I still have a ton to do but all in all I'm pretty please with how he looks

I will definitely be taking photos and videos at celebration of people reacting to the droid.

@nomad18.08 I have been playing with this website all day thank you!

@Dave Schulpius the movement tracking works fairly well but i am still playing with the sensitivity and object size as sometimes he can get lost in all the movements on the screen. he tracks faces perfectly though and have scared my girlfriend walking into my room several times lol

hello,

Is there someone knowledgable about the ARC mobile version that can help me out or clarify something for me:

I have built a mobile app for my robot and it all seems pretty straight forward. I am able to get the connection/LED control/camera/and random sound buttons to work flawlessly. I run into trouble though when i "cc" a script from the script manager. The script will never be activated. Does the mobile version support the script manager? Do i need to physically type the code into the assigned button?

Also I am having trouble saving servo variables to the slider.. has anyone else run into this problem?

Thank you any help/knowledge would be great Aaron

@robot56 Yes you need to type the script into the assigned button. I made a button called "Salute" and typed in the commands below. Now when the button is pressed my robot will salute, say "Yes Sir" and then go back into home position. I also setup a voice command using the same script so I can say "Salute" and he will do it. The buttons works very well to make your robot move and talk from a mobile device.

cc("Auto Position",AutoPositionAction,"Salute") SayEZB("Yes Sir") Sleep(2100) cc("Auto Position",AutoPositionAction,"Home")

Salute and Home are actions I programmed using the AutoPosition window. The smiles were added by the forum software and should be right brackets.

@mcsdaver thank you for the help! so i discovered that the script manager is not supported within the ARC mobile version.

Instead I am using the EZ-Script window and activating it with:

cc("ez-script", scriptstart)

the sounds within the scripts work just fine but now I am having a problem where the servo in the head will not rotate during the script. even just a script to center the head will not work on the mobile app.

The buttons, servos, sounds, lights and other functions all work perfectly when I run the mobile app from my computer within ARC... confused

Any thoughts on how I can get the servo to move within the mobile app?

well the first day of celebration has ended and R7 did great! He ran all day with zero issues. People walking by loved that the robot had a camera and was able to interact with them.

I decided against the mobile app and bought a Winbook tablet for $70 on amazon that runs a full windows 8 and was able to run the normal ex-builder
