We will now add an Auto Position for each robot. Remember, we connected... EZ-B Index 0 -> Six EZ-B Index 1 -> Six EZ-B Index 2 -> JD EZ-B Index 3 -> JD

Step 5 Navigate to the appropriate project and select it. If using the public Six and JD projects, they will be located in C:\Users\Public\Documents\EZ-Builder\Examples. Again, remember that in this example we are adding SIX for EZ-B index 0 & 1. JD is for EZ-B index 2 & 3. So this first time we will be loading a SIX project.

Step 7 A window will be displayed with all ACTIONS and FRAMES of the Auto Position control. Select the FORWARD, LEFT, RIGHT, REVERSE, and STOP actions. Ensure the PAUSE is UNCHECKED in the FRAMES list. This is because PAUSE is a default frame and cannot be imported.
