Change Release Notes
This is one of my most proud releases of ARC yet! When we advance the functionality of the ARC Robot Control Software, sometimes your projects will need to be updated also... This is one of those updates
The major change in this update is the servo Configuration in all controls that use Servos. All servo Controls now support Multiple Servos! This is a very unique feature to EZ-Robot and an excellent example of how innovative our product is. I'm very excited to see what amazing uses this feature will be used for.
*Note: Existing projects will need the servo ports and ranges re-selected for this update.
Auto Position Editor has ALT-KEY shortcuts for common used functions
Background Images added to Auto Position and Virtual Robot are resized to decrease EZB saved file size
QR Code Generator has a help file (when clicked on ? question mark icon)
WaitForSpeech() displays a popup with available commands, and also displays a countdown timer
All servo Controls support Multiple Servos (camera, ez430, Joystick, Wiimote, servo Pad, servo Horizontal, servo Vertical, Sound Servo, Vuzix, etc)
Controls that support Mulitple Servos can also be adjusted by a ratio.
Digital Controls display custom text instead of ON/OFF
MP3TriggerPlay() bug fix (does not require Speech Recognition Control)
Speech Recognition has a "Display available commands" button
Preferences has option to hide default EZ-Robot Wallpaper
Some of the CONFIG buttons have changed to icons instead of txt. All will eventually be changed.
EZ-SDK has also been updated
New EZ-Script ControlCommands to Show/Hide the available speech commands

Thanks DJ
Brilliant servo feature, well done Excellent
Pat
Wonderful.
so does this remoev the need for relative servo?
Not entirely... Relative servo will move other servos based on a master servo. It's similar - but not the same.
Gotcha..
I love this one! Very slick! Your work just keeps getting better and better.
All I have to say is that @DJSures can read minds....
I have just spent the last few days making notepad pages pop up with the available voice command list.... this update does exactly that but 10 times better
Thanks DJ Sures
*Update: new ControlCommand to Show/Hide speech recognition list by EZ-Script. There is an example to demonstrate. Also, all new add-ons of speech recognition control contain the new speech commands to show/hide the list.
PS, thanks for the kind words everyone
