Change Release Notes
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")

Ohhh... I get it
Here is a simple example of the camera detecting differing object size (or potential distance) using the new IfElse and $CameraObject commands
Objectsize.EZB
Nice additions DJ!
PS when I pasted my code it was all there until I saved my posting, then it was missing a bunch of lines and looked like this:
I see that the ElseIF lines and some > signs where removed upon posting my code to the forum... strange confused Oh well, the above .EZB file works fine, check it out
@dj can you make each new download so that it is only the new part not all the program bec my internet is crazy slow
WOW!
Holy crap DJ you the man. This is another great update. I hate having to wait till Christmas to start working on it.
