Install Visual Studio
Visual Studio is a software development IDE from Microsoft. It was once a very expensive software package for professionals, and now it has been released open-source and free! The community edition can be downloaded for free and gives you the power to create .Net applications. In this step, we'll use ARC to detect an existing installation of Visual Studio and download the latest.
Load ARC
Press Project -> Create Skill
The Create robot skill window will check for an existing installation of Visual Studio. If there is not one detected, a DOWNLOAD button will be presented.
- Press the Download link if presented, or get the Community Edition of Visual Studio by clicking here.
Dependency Ensure you have .Net 4.7.2 framework installed. If you keep up-to-date with Windows Updates and ARC runs without problems, then you must have .Net 4.7.2. Many programs are built with .Net 4.7.2 and therefore it's uncommon for a computer to not have it. So, if ARC works then you don't need to download and install .Net 4.7.2
Is this out of date? There doesn't seem to be a GetConfiguration function within EZ_Builder.Config.Sub.PluginV1
Look at the tutorial step titled Code: Saving/Loading Configuration
The get and set configuration methods are overrides of the form. There’s a great video on the first step of this tutorial that demonstrates the step by step of building a plugin. I recommend watching that because it helps fill in any steps that were missed.
When you’ve done it once, it makes sense and voila, you can rinse and repeat
Excellent, thanks - I will do. I really must learn not to just jump ahead in the process
Hey no problem - I do it all the time, and end up frustrated because I dont know what it was that I missed. Excitement gets the best of me
Trying to follow the tutorials but can't find where the plugin page has gone. How do I add a new plugin to the ez-robot / Synthiam site to get the XML?
Never mind. Just found the "Create skill control" link
I am trying to follow the instructions for adding my own plugin but I cannot seem to find the place to register the plugin based on the instructions.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
The new button to create a plugin skill control is less than an inch below the button you pressed to create this question.
