Upgrade to ARC Pro
Synthiam ARC Pro is a new tool that will help unleash your creativity with programming robots in just seconds!
Awesome.... It works fantastic!.... Panning around by just clicking the camera image... Love it...
On a side note I wish I could drop by and if you had some time of course to teach a class in developing these plugins... I know you have the online tutorial here but I think a couple of hours in a class would really help get me and others started... Later this week I am going to look at your plugin example of click servo to see how you did it....
Question, if I give up the proportional click steer idea, do you think I could adapt click servo to do basic click steering? Like I said it doesn't have to be proportional steering... For example click left of centre on the camera image and the robot briefly veers left and vice versa for right... Should be straight forward if all I/we need to do is briefly control the left() and right() on the Movement Panel when you click the left or right side of the camera image?
First I need to take a look how you did click servo...
RR, how much of a class were you hoping for? I'm just trying to gage, because I know you are a pretty savvy, but are you hoping for a class that would walk you through getting started in Visual Studio as well as the plug in creation process....or just more meat on the plug in creation process?
Savvy maybe, ARC competent, yes.... However, C# is a whole different ball game than ARC... To put this in perspective.... The last PC I programmed was a Commodore 64....
Ok, so you did something like: 10 PRINT HELLO WORLD 20 GOTO 10
Ahh, I miss that kind of programming.
But you've been scripting a fair bit in ARC, right? I think that type of scripting lends itself to picking up C# more so then the c64 Basic.
I think when it comes to learning Visual C# .Net the first step is to become somewhat comfortable with how to do a handful of basic things and there are lots of free resources to learn the very basics. Once you can do fancy versions of the "Hello World" application...like add in a time/date stamp, make it come up in a pop up box, appear in a different location, change the text color, add a button to change the message from "Hello World", to "EZ-Robot is Awesome!"....stuff like that.
Once you can do that, you'll have the basic skills you can build on by experimenting with other code to create what you want. Stating with sample project code from published plug-ins like you mentioned is a great way. You could start by changing small things to see how the code works. And ask questions from there.
And if you get really stuck I could help you via Skype.
