Upgrade to ARC Pro
ARC Pro is more than a tool; it's a creative playground for robot enthusiasts, where you can turn your wildest ideas into reality.
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.
