Blank Space In GUID Folder Name https://synthiam.com/Question/1465
Plugin.XML Not Copying to Output Folder https://synthiam.com/Question/1465
Plugin.XML file with invalid characters produces error https://synthiam.com/Question/4186
Here are some items to verify that you may have overlooked during the previous tutorial steps. Please check that these steps have been taken:
Have the ARC and EZ_B references been added and configured for "not to copy"?
Is the Output Folder of the skill specified to the correct location? (i.e. c:\ProgramData\Arc\plugins)
Is the plugin.xml configured to be copied to the output folder? Setting should be set for "Copy Always" in solution explorer properties.
Is the latest version of ARC installed?
Is the main form of your skill inheriting the correct PluginMaster class rather than Form class?
If you cannot execute the skill for debugging, is the "Debug With External Application" configured to use ARC.exe?
Is the correct DLL filename of your skill specified in the Plugin.xml file?
Is the correct GUID specified in the plugin.xml file?
To verify any of these questions, revisit the tutorial steps to ensure that you have completed the tutorial entirely.
The error cannot read the COM file, I downloaded it and when I follow the instructions, I get an error, while other files read normally. .
sorry for me but i tried many different ways but still show the error,I couldn't find EZ_B.dll file even though I downloaded it
None of the required references are in your list. Please follow the tutorial. It explains exactly how to click the browse button and navigate to the folder and select the files.
Sorry, but the reason I can't reference is because there is no file in the EZ_B folder and there is an error : this folder is empty , I am trying to solve it. I would like to thank DJ sure for answering my superfluous questions and I'm sorry for bothering you
I need to playback 5 Serial Bus servos in sequence.
What protocol is it? A "serial bus" is a generic term for anything using a UART that's chained together sharing the same RX line. Also, why did you add a photo with the question text added in your response?
Are you planning on making a skill control to do this? You wrote the question in the skill control thread in a comment - I'd like to make sure your question is in the right place to help you out.
To begin, I would recommend starting with servo Script control so you can make the serial bus protocol work - then consider making a skill control only if you're planning on distributing the effort to others: https://synthiam.com/Products/Controls/Scripting/Servo-Script-19068
He seems rather demanding as well. I guess he needs the benefit of the doubt as English may not be his native language....
I have installed all the software dependencies and still ARC does not detect that I have Visual Studio installed. OS is Windows 10, .NET 4.8 or newer, Visual Studio Community 2019.
