Control More Than One Robot

Movement Panel

We're now going to add a Movement Panel which will control all of the robots at the same time. The Movement Panel that we will use is a Custom Movement Panel, which allows custom EZ-Script to be added. Each Auto Position will be instructed to execute movement actions using the ControlCommand().

Step 1 Add Control->Scripting->Custom Movement Panel User-inserted image

Step 2 We will now press configure on the movement panel. The window that opens is the configuration, which allows you to edit code that will be executed for each movement direction. User-inserted image

Step 3 Let's start by demonstrating how to add STOP commands for each Auto Position. Press the EDIT button on the STOP command. User-inserted image

Step 4 Depending on what your default editor is configured, either Blockly or EZ-Script editor will be displayed. Press the EZ-Script tab, because we will be editing EZ-Script for this example. User-inserted image

Step 5 Right-click in the editor window and locate the first Auto Position, and select the STOP option. User-inserted image

Step 6 Now repeat the same process for each of the Auto Position Controls, so your code will look like this... User-inserted image

Step 7 Save the script User-inserted image

REPEAT You guessed right, this process must be repeated for each movement (forward, left, right, reverse, stop).
