Change Release Notes

Someone said they can't keep up with the updates... Well, tough luck!:D

This update contains a graphical view of your script path. It's neat to view your project in a graphical representation. Any script or control which uses a "ControlCommand" to interact with another control is displayed. For example, if you have a speach recognition phrase that uses a ControlCommand, it will be displayed. If you have a speech recognition phrase that moves a servo (does not use a ControlCommand), it will not be displayed. This allows you to only view the interactions between controls.

  • New Control: Script Flow
  • Additional connection debuging for Brookstone Rover in Debug Control
  • ControlCommand has a short-hand alias "CC" (check EZ-Script manual)
  • ADC Graph performance improvement
  • Intro windows (check new version, etc.) always display when loaded. They close when first control is added

Script Flow Example

In this example I used the Wall-e Big (from included Examples in ARC)

Select the Add Control option, Scripting, and Script Flow

The graphical view displays all scripts and control functions that execute each other. For example, the Speech Recognition Control has many phrases, phrases that execute other controls are displayed:)

Wow you have been so busy! I'm itching to build something but have been busy on a film shooting until March. The film that was going to bring me to Caliary is not happening now, that bums me out. I was hoping to meet up. Next time. Anyhow, keep up the amazing work. When I finally get the time to build a robot, you will have progressed so far that all I have to do is press the button labelled "Live!", and the AI program will start up! eek
