Hi is it possible for the next release to use two camera devices? FYI. You are a great
Could you also enable Joystick Scripting help resizing in the next release?
Niek, did u not read the change list?
Awesome, nice of you to add center for the servo DJ
@DJ
I did, must have accidentally skipped that sentence
Thanks DJ!
hey Dj i'm still waiting for your answer.
I have some ideas DJ... maybe in the next release you can add in the same panel the option to use 2 cameras at the same time... for example one camera for the front and the other for the back...
good job!
There are currently 182 items in the list and growing daily. Features are added and grouped based on code areas that are modified. This prevents from having to re test the entire application and sdk each time. Now that we have users like NASA, and others - we have QA processes
Feel free to use the sdk or c# or vb controls to create you own and share on the cloud or with me directly. I will add any controls made by contributors that follow our vision and usability
