Release 2012.11.30.00

How do you create the worlds easiest, most scable and powerful Robot Control Software? I started by making it do what I wanted. Then I listen to what the community wanted. And finally, I spent countless hours developing and innovating hundreds of features.

Introducing... ARC

This release focuses mostly on ARC's built-in scripting language. EZ-Script was originally designed to be used for scripting actions and servo positions. Then we started adding conditional statements for custom behaviours. Even though we implemented other scripting controls (C# and VB), they lacked an integrated command syntax to control specific ARC features. This meant EZ-Script continued to grow and evolve. Before we knew it, EZ-Script had become a full featured programming language.

EZ-Script is very fast. It is actually incredibly fast and full featured. This release adds even more features to the powerful EZ-Script programming language only found in ARC.

• EZ-Script performance optimizations
• EZ-Script supports If/ElseIf/Else
• EZ-Script supports multiple comparisons
• EZ-Script math functions (Sin, Cos, Abs, Round)
• Camera Control creates EZ-Script variables for the detected Object's Width and Height

Example:

$y = Sin(5)
$y = Round($y, 2)
$y = Abs($y)

if (GetServo(D5) = 5)
 print("Servo 5")
elseIf (GetServo(d5) = 7)
 print("Servo 7")
else
 print("Unknown")

if ($y = 5 or ($y = 3 and GetServo(D5) = 2))
 print("Super yes!")
else
 print("Who knows")
