Upgrade to ARC Pro
ARC Pro is your passport to a world of endless possibilities in robot programming, waiting for you to explore.
@dobermann the little version (EZ-Mini) is having some production issues. Sadly, it won't be available for a few more months. Thank you for the kind words
Oh, OK, Is see. Thanks. Here is what I found for the MP3 Trigger's optional parameter to pause theSpeech recognition:
Optionally, the Pause Time value can be used which disables the Speech Recognition control for the specified number of milliseconds. Example: MP3TriggerPlayTrack( d0, 38400, 1, 3000 ) Above parameter: ( digitalPort, baud, trackNumber, [pause time] )
This is great!
Thanks, Dave Schulpius
DJ,
ARC is not accepting any input after I start my test program of operating 4 ping radar panels,
all the panels are working but I can't stop, config, disconnect or even close the program.
I have to CTR/ALT/DEL to the task manager to shut it down. confused
any thoughts? tired
Ensure you have the latest updates to your operating system. Check .net 4 is most recent version. Other than that, you can try posting your project and I can take a look at it
DJ,
Everything's up to date,
It's pretty simple
4 Radar Scan panels set up as D0, D2, D4, D6 as triggers and D1, D3, D5, D7 as echo's
nothing else changed and not using any servo's
nothing else in the whole program this is just a test of those 4 panels.
2 will run , 3 starts to get glitchy and 4 locks the ARC.
I'm using a 6 core AMD, 8 gigs ram, Windows 7 64 bit.
Interestingly I can run 4 ping distant panels and 4 ping collision panels all at the same time with no ill affects.
The ping radar controls require a servo.. You can specify NA, but that will share NA is a virtual servo. So each ping radar control will be attempting to move NA virtual servo. That will cause issues for sure. If you are using radar controls without servos, set the servos to real ports then.
Otherwise, use the Ping Distance control instead
That helped a-little but ARC is still responding very slowly to mouse inputs while the scanners are running also after i finally do disconnect and close the window I'm getting a windows error "ARC has stopped working"
I have not had a single issue up until the last release.
