Upgrade to ARC Pro
Synthiam ARC Pro is a cool new tool that will help unleash your creativity with programming robots in just seconds!
I've never done a bug report by now so I don't know if this is a bug or not but here it is:
The Joystick control is not creating any variables when the "Set EZ-Script variables" box is checked and if the variables ($JoystickX1, $JoystickY1 etc.) are declared in a script, their value does not change when playing with joysticks.
Keep up the amazing work, have a nice day!
I would recommend using a different approach than the variables anyway. The variables return a float between 1 and -1. Which is ugly to calculate for. I recommend setting the servos for each direction as a Virtual Servo. That means a servo stating with the letter Vx. The virtual servo can therefore be used to easily obtain joystick positioning with ease.
