what does saywait() do please? I'm intrigued
hey dj can you make the camera track an image i load
@kudo48pa, eventually. Please pay attention to updates and use the search function.
Thanks for the serial variable support
Hey DJ, I have noticed a couple of issues that may or may not be a glitch at my end... or something with ARC
1st - HTTP server connects and shows live action just fine, camera or other control info constantly show adjustments, but after making a single mouse click on anything, I must refresh (or stop and refresh, depending on browser) in order to make another click... The live display continues throughout, just no control except click, refresh, click, refresh, repeat ad nauseum
The host PC is an Acer net-book running Win 7 HP and the control PC is a desktop running Win 7 Ultimate. I have tried IE9, Firefox and Chrome. No firewall issues that I can see.
2nd - I removed and re-installed ARC onto my D: drive on my net-book (the C: is only a 8GB SSD and almost full). Problem is that I am unable to load any previously saved projects:

Removing and re installing back on C: resolved the issue... but I really need to use D: drive for most everything.You have any suggestions?
There is no reason i can think of that would prevent the software from loading files off any drive letter. Maybe the EZB file is damaged? Post your EZB file
I did try a couple of EZB files, some local others on the cloud... same result. Here is the file I am working with the most.Gunnerator.EZB
Any idea on the HTTP issue?
And, thanks
