Change Release Notes
- resets servo fine tune settings when a new project is loaded
- camera image can be flipped, rotated, mirrored, etc. with new menu in Camera Config
- servo limits can be hard coded with SetServoMin() and SetServoMax() commands. This prevents any servo from moving past the specified position. This is only reset when a new project is loaded. (This is not compatible with iOS apps for 9 days after today because it takes 9 days for apple to review the software update). You will receive an EZ-Script compile error if trying to use these commands on current iOS app.
- speed improvement with compiling ez-script
- Auto Positioner includes GAIT Source Code Creator. This will create C++ and C#, UWP code for servo movements based on Auto Positions. Anyone using the EZ-SDK or UWP SDK will appreciate this for Windows 10, Windows 10 Core, Windows Phone, xBox, Raspberry Pi, and many more.

You can use UniversalBot with Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 8.1 - I believe you need to install Universal Windows Platform (UWP). I think it comes in a few flavors, but it is an add-on.
They make indeed my Inmoov articulation a lot safer.
There seem to be two reasons for learning Visual Studio as it relates to EZ-B based at least on the posts in this thread.
1) Programming students who have decided to make robotics projects. They are trying to reproduce some or all of the ARC functionality in their own code.
2) Those who want to integrate some 3rd party system to ARC (Dave's EZ-AI, Justin's EZ-Face, etc...). If you want to connect to an application or device that has its own API that DJ has not yet integrated to, the SDK is an effective means of doing so, although asking DJ to add support seems fairly effective as well....

Can you send me those "things" too? Learning C# is on my todo list. I have started a couple of tutorials and get lost pretty quickly. The last serious programming I did was in Visual Basic v6 and .NET has changed everything (and at least in the ease of use in Visual Basic, I don't know if for the better... stuff that I found really easy to do in VB6 using ActiveX controls now seem impossible when I try to do them in VB.NET, which is why if I need to learn a new language, I just want to go straight to C#).

Thanks!

As for the update, the ideas of being able to rotate the camera is great!
