Upgrade to ARC Pro
ARC Pro is your passport to a world of endless possibilities in robot programming, waiting for you to explore.
Thank you for the detailed. Can you please explain what a "original movement panel" is? Also, feel free to post your project and we'll have a quick peak
Open my save project ezb and video device disappear. I check box every time video device usb.
Sorry for the Terminology Problem I am still learning EZ-Robot. The "Original Movement Control" I was trying to refer to is a "Scripting Controls - Movement Script". A Movement Script works fine the "Ping Distance Controls - Ping Radar". When the robot sonar detects an object to close the robot will turn.
When I replaced my "Scripting Controls - Movement Script" with a "Misc Controls - Custom Movement Panel" the "Ping Distance Controls - Ping Radar" no longer stopped the robot and caused it to turn.
Ah I understand. The "Custom Movement Panel" was not designed to be controlled by other controls - which is silly, now that you mention it. I'll have that changed for the next release
@RobertL184 The latest release includes external control of a custom movement panel
i need a ARC 2012.10.06.00 software
Why on earth do you need one this old? It will not work with the current EZ-B and there will be absolutely no support for this version, scripting will differ vastly now as it did back then and many controls were not incorporated, those which are will also be vastly different.
Ummm... Why do you need it?
