Example Project Overview
The Example Project will add the references and configuration necessary to begin developing.
Running The Example Project Let us first take a moment to load the Example Project in ARC and see it in action.
Shutdown any instances of ARC, as they aren't necessary during debugging.
Load the Visual Studio solution file for your plugin.
Press F5 in Visual Studio, or select Debug -> Start Debugging from the top menu
ARC will launch
We'll now add your skill to the workspace. Press Project -> Add Skill
Navigate to the Beta tab, and your skill will be visible. Click the icon and the project will load.
View your new skill on the workspace. The Example Project even has a configuration menu configured. You can press the configuration option (3 little dots next to the X) to view the example configuration menu.
Notes Visual Studio is running as the debugger for the project. For experienced programmers, you can step through and debug the robot skill plugin in real-time.
Is this out of date?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.
