Change Release Notes
I got the year right!
QR Code now has "Not Found Script", which will execute when ever a QR Code isn't found in the list (View Examples->EZScript->Functions->Camera->QR Code)
QR Code stores the QR Text in a specified variable.
New EZ-Script command: SubString() extracts part of a string within a string
New EZ-Script command: IndexOf() returns the character position of the string within a string
New EZ-Script command: Contains() returns TRUE or FALSE if a string is found within a string
QR Code Encoder Control. Create your own QR Codes on the fly within ARC, save, print and copy to clipboard
Recorder displays total time, position, and number of events
Firmware Upgrade includes more information for people who don't want to read tutorials... even after all the hard work we put into making those fancy videos
Examples for all new EZ-Script commands can be found under Examples->EZ Script->Functions within ARC
A note on the recorder... I have tested it with 10,000 events over 5 minutes with no errors. The size is going to be dependent on your available memory. Remember, ARC is SUPER efficient and amazingly optimized for slow processors - but memory is something we can't optimize any further. Fact is, the larger your robot project, the more memory it uses

GREAT Update!
:D
Another work of art, um, I mean DJ. Thanks!
Wow! You have been busy DJ!
DJ,
Where can I get info on how to construct a haas cascade file? I want to try shape recognition.

Try this link click here I have experimented with quite a few Haar xml files and ARC. It looks like a long process to create your own though and this example file for the pen worked but doesn't use a lot of samples so its a bit hit and miss. It would be great if there was some software to automate the whole process and create a 'trained' xml file. Open CV is the place to start
Thanks. Seems quite involved.
Also, it would be great if I could just hire someone to create the files for me.
