Thanks, the pwm in the Movement Panel is going to make things easier and, well, everything will. This is a great update for movement.
OMG thank you so much.
WOW! Thanks so much DJ! One question regarding the "New EZ-Script command GetSpeedRight()" of left, where is the script command getting the speed info from...H-Bridge,PWM or any generic posistioning device like a Hall device or IFR?
........I am really hoping it will be any generic positioning device!
Wow DJ, flooded out of the office and you still managed to find a way to sneak in some work. It's painfully obvious you have a true passion for your craft. Most would have used a national disaster as an, IMHO completely valid, excuse to take a day off. I admire your passion DJ. Thanks for loving what you do and thanks again for bringing EZ Robot to us all.
Awesome! I think the Movement Panel with Pwm built in will come in handy for my rad project.
I hope this is just me but my EZ Bits are gone. In the manager, they all only have a file size and are at category 0. Projects load with a bunch of can not be null errors. Is it in fact just me or is this a real bug?
@Antron, interesting... Can you post your project here? One that references your custom EZ-Bits. I'd like to see what could have changed to affect that.
Wow, Very nice. Thanks for working for us when you have so many other things going on around you personally.
