Hi DJ,
the current version ARC 2021.01.05.00 (Early Access) has this welcome feature for indexing servo commands.
How about using DIOs for "normal" digital input / output applications and the ADC inputs ?
Is there a chance for indexing their commands as well so that software may distinguish different EZ-Bs ?
Cheers
Volker
I’ll add that to Blockly for ya
Thank you so much ! !
Hi DJ,
in a few days, the second EZ-B for my large insect will arrive ...
... do you have news about this above indexing stuff ?
Would be an immense help.
Thanks very much in advance !
Cheers
Volker
See this release note from a few weeks ago: https://synthiam.com/Products/ARC/Releases/ARC-2021-01-21-00-Early-Access-20216
Right,
servo controls are indexed, but only servo controls; not the common DIO ports (what I addressed on Jan 20).
Could you please enable this as well ???
Would be great !
Again, please see that release note. That release note has the changes you requested. Update to that release to obtain the changes. For reference, here is the link again: https://synthiam.com/Products/ARC/Releases/ARC-2021-01-21-00-Early-Access-20216
Confusing ...
... I used the link that you provided a few minutes ago - should be for ARC 2021.01.21.00 (Early Access), but the downloaded installation file includes the older version 2020-11-02-00 (see below):

Prior to installing your suggested new version I had removed the old one from my HDD; just to be sure.Really strange ...
... is it possible that the link you provided is not addressing the new version 2021.01.21.00 (Early Access), but he old version ?
Sorry to bother you
