Awesome DJ! A wide variety of enhancements that most of us will use and appreciate for (DJ) sure
Thanks for working all the long hours!
Nice. Sketchpad looks like it is going to be another very versatile control
Especially for those with an on-board PC and screen.
Seems to have solved MMA7455 Accelerometer issue great news)
But can still freeze ARC on loss of BT connection
Just noticed that the Sketch pad panel looks like the Video player panel and even has help for video panel so I reckon its not the sketch panel
I cant seem to do anything with the SketchPad at all nor can i find any info on it confused
Use this project as an example: SketchPad.EZB
I hadn't written the help for the sketchpad yet - i'll do that soon
Ahh thanks DJ now I get it!
Great! The full screen mode will be perfect for an wide range of uses! Have not tried the sketch yet.. But I'm sure we're gonna find lots of uses to that. DJ, you are the man!
Anyone experiencing random crash 10 minutes into theirs project testing?
