Amazing DJ, you da bomb! Thanks for the fast fix on the buggy boo.
Omg, 180 positions! Awesome DJ. Two v4 boards on order. Really looking forward to the early Christmas. Now just need to stop working to finish building! On the road for a year but still lurking. Go DJ, go!
very neat! i didn't notice this till i opened up my ARC
also, may i suggest a new feature for the ARC? (adding an option to install it as windows service, so it starts immediately when booting)
On boot ARC will start up and the project will load automatically, the specified script will run on load, this can include a connection script to auto connect amongst other things.
Here's what I found: On Windows
You may have noticed that you have a folder called "Startup" in your Programs menu. Anything you put into this folder, Windows will launch on startup-so setting an app to automatically launch is easy:P
If you ever want the program to stop launching with Windows, then just head back to the Startup folder (by repeating step 2 above) and delete the shortcut
i meant on boot, nog on login (the startup folder is only executed for when a user logs in, but i want it on pc boot..)
I don't quite understand why you would require that since ARC runs a GUI which is inaccessible until a user logs in...
to load a fully developed robot without the need to log in..
