Hmmmm... 3d printed wall-e replica...
Hello DJ Sure, one thing I'd like to have in ARC is to add more option for windows like the Compass, I had purchased two GY-26 and made them work with script but the adress and read data do not look to be the same as your application so it's not working in the Compass windows. The GY-26 seems to work very well and do not need to be so near of the EZ-board, mine are at 5'' for now. I have attach a picture of my test set-up. And, if you can write in the window compass the variables we can use it can be a great addition.
Also, In EZ-Script setting, you can't use the key CTRL-C, CTRL-V from the right panel to the left one, Windows do not like it and prompt an errors.
Hey Andre, thanks for the comments. We do not natively support that compass module. The compass module we natively support is the Sure Dual Axis - the information can be found by pressing the ? button on the Compass Control in ARC.
You can add a custom script to support that compass, but you will need some help from an experienced member of the community - if you're not familiar with scripting.
Hello DJ Sures, the GY-26 are working fine, i made the script for it... I'm newbee but scripting is easy in EZ so it was not so hard. It was just a suggestion for an improvement to the Compass panel because I like it but i do not like the Sure Dual Axis. Look at the picture in my previous post, the assembly is very cheap and it's functionning without trouble.
Thank you so much for your hard work !
OMG speed control....awsome nice addition. Sounds like you will have quite the crew there after July 1st. As a note the new servo magazine spotlights Mark his robots and the Robot Combat League.
