Thanks @Andre99, have you thought about using the Script Manager or EZ-Script control? You can toggle the digital ports using the toggle EZ-Script command. Or just use the SET command to turn them on or off programatically

Hello DJ, for this base I want to be able to control it's position with the keyboard or the mouse because my mower robot will use this type of controls to record the perimeter of my courtward.

I just think I can use a joystick unstead with script, it will be much better, I will be able to have speed control at the same time as direction (for the mower, the other is only on or off). So, will have to wait until tomorrow to purchase a joystick The joystick panel is very good, the Variables will be perfect.

The toggle function is to toggle the state of the output of one digital port ? I made a search and was not able to fin any example in the forum, only in ARC and I can't test it now, my wife is sleeping.

Thank you DJ for the good suggestions, I am very happy with my EZ kit and it alway's surprise me with the possibility you have made in it.

Awesome Andre99 Also, look in the Keyboard Control. You can map EZ-Script to keys. It is found under the Scripting tab

DJ, you are surprising ! This will do the job perfectly, you had just made my day. Look like I will have a lot of fun tomorrow morning.

Just to show you the little thing I test, it's not good looking for now:

Thank's again DJ

The example below does not appear to be working in the script control of ARC.

The first time I run the script control it gives me 0's regardless of the color of the BlinkM. The second time I ran it, it disconnects the EZ-Robot controller in the connection widget.

From the ARC BlinkM control I was able to read and set values just fine. My BlinkM fades through many colors as a default program. I was able to pick up different values at different times.

Is it a flaw with the example code?

from : https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/3918

# Shift the bits over
# Set the LSB (first bit) to a 1
# When first bit is a 1 on i2c, that means
# it is a Read Address
$i2cAddress = 0x09

Print("BlinkM Address: " + $i2cAddress)

# Tell BlinkM we want the RGB Values
i2cWrite(0, $i2cAddress, 0x67)

# Receive the RGB Values
$raw = i2cRead(0, AUTO, $i2cAddress , 3)

# Print the number of bytes
Print("Received: " + Length($Raw) + " Bytes" )

# Print the hex value of each byte
PrintHex($Raw)

# Split the array of bytes and assign to each variable
$Red = GetByte($Raw[0])
$Green = GetByte($Raw[1])
$Blue = GetByte($Raw[2])

Probably something in the code needs changing, I'll have a look when I get the chance.

Have you tried substituting the $i2caddress variable for the actual address, in this case 0x09?

Tried putting in the address instead of the variable... still get 0's on the first run and disconnect on the second.

Return in the status window when it disconnects.

Disconnected
Comm Err: Not Connected
BbytesToExpect: 1

Have you checked the wiring of the BlinkM? Some of my I2C devices would cause disconnects when I had bad wires.

I'll try and test it on mine later if I can.
