Thanks DJ, The Custom Movement Panel now links to the to the Ping Radar Control. But it may still not be quite right. For Me the Ping Radar Control "Reverse before Turn" does not work quite correctly. With the "Reverse before Turn" active the Robot goes into reverse when the Ping Distance is too small but never does a turn. With the "Reverse before Turn" deactivated the Robot Turns Right as expected when the Ping Distance is too small. I have not tried Camera Tracking.

Thanks MovieMaker,

I could not open the new build until I followed the path that you provided. I manually opened it from there and all is well.

Hello Guys,

Did we lose the ability to set the camera resolution in the new build? We used to max it out to get 35 foot glyph detections. Now we seem to get 5 foot glyph detections. Maybe we are missing it.

Also, are there any script commands that use the new tracking variables?

Thanks again

LOVE THE $CameraCenterX and $CameraCenterY variables DJ in the EZ-Script and improved tracking features!

Thanks DJ
